Background & Aims: Depression is one of the common disorders in childhood and adulthood and it brings many problems in the field of health. The aim of this research is to investigate the mediating role of self-worth in the relationship between dysfunctional schemas and attributional styles with depressive symptoms. Materials & Methods: The design of this research was descriptive-correlation. For this purpose, 385 students of Tabriz University were selected using random cluster sampling method and answered Peterson et al.'s attributional style questionnaires, Young schemas short form, Beck's depression, second edition, and Crocker et al.'s self-worth questionnaire. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SPSS version 22 and AMOS version 22 software. Results: The evaluation of the hypothetical model of the research using fit indices showed that the hypothetical model is suitable (CFI=0.94, NFI=0.92, RMSEA=0.02). The results showed that there is a negative relationship between positive attribution style and depression symptoms, and a positive relationship between negative attribution style and depression symptoms. There is a positive relationship between the schemas of impaired restriction, impaired self-control, and cut-off with depression symptoms, and there is a negative relationship between self-worth and depression symptoms. Also, data analysis showed that self-worth can mediate the relationship between attributional styles and dysfunctional schemas with depression symptoms. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that self-worth plays a mediating role in the relationship between dysfunctional schemas and attributional styles with depression symptoms. These findings provide a suitable theoretical framework for the symptomatology and etiology of depression and can be effective in formulating effective preventive and therapeutic interventions for depression.
