The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of losing on early maladaptive schemata of individual male athletes. A descriptive-analytical design was used. The population included male athletes from two age groups of adolescents and young people competing in individual sports (weightlifting, taekwon-do, and judo) at the Erzurum province and national championship in 2019. From a Morgan (1970) sampling table, 338 athletes formed the sample. Using the Yang Schema Questionnaire (2003), data were analyzed with independent t-tests in SPSS v21, showing significant differences in early maladaptive schemas by losing status and sport field.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of losing on early maladaptive schemata of individual male athletes. The present study was a descriptive-analytical research method. The statistical population of this study was all male athletes in two age groups of adolescents and young people from individual (weightlifting, tack and taekwondo) who participated in the championship of Erzurum province and country in 2019. According to the statistics, the number of these people was estimated at 2,800 athletes. The statistical sample of this study, based on the sample Morgan table (1970), was 338 athletes. The current research tool was Yang Schema Questionnaire (2003) . Data were analyzed using independent t-test by SPSS software version 21. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between early maladaptive schemas among male athletes with a status of lose and sport field.

Schemes lead individuals to biases of events interpretations, and these biases show themselves as distorted attitudes, false speculations, unrealistic goals, primitive maladaptive, patterns or deep intrinsic materials that are related to each other's relationship with them or others and are highly ineffective. Young collects a set of layouts that they call initial schemas that are incompatible. One of the new and important structures that explore the style of cognitive processing and how it affects emotional processing in humans is the structure of early maladaptive schemas. Inappropriate schemas, selfemotional and cognitive emotional patterns in an individual that are formed in the early stages of development and evolved in the mind, are repeated in the path of life (Young et al. , 1999) . Initial maladaptive schemas arise because of the lack of basic emotional needs of childhood. Fundamental needs, such as secure attachment to others, self- regulation, freedom to express healthy needs and emotions, spontaneity and realistic constraints (Taliaferro et al. , 2011) . These schemas operate at the deepest level of knowledge, usually out of the level of consciousness, and make the person psychologically more vulnerable to creating disturbances such as depression, anxiety, ineffective communication, addiction and mental disorders (Young et al. , 1999) . The proposed scheme by Young is divided into five areas: cuts and exclusion, self-regulation and impaired performance, impaired limits, other orientation, overheard and inhibition (Young et al. , 1999) . When these schemas are activated, they can affect perception, reality, and cognitive processing (Connor-Smith and Flachsbart , 2010) . In this way, current researches have determined that schemas has effective in cognitive processing, making one more vulnerable to psychological damage. One of the areas that is expected to trigger maladaptive schemas to lead to cognitive impairment, resulting in mental and mental disturbance, is an area of interest, but by reviewing the research literature it becomes clear that it is less likely to examine the relationship between schemas that are incompatible with some sports have been addressed to issues such as athletes' wins an
