Temperament, parenting styles and the intensity of early maladaptive schemas: assessment of correlations in a non-clinical adult group.

Because temperament seems to be a relatively persistent feature, it may play a similar role in adulthood, reinforcing emotions and feelings in the context of environment, and then maintain the schemas.
