Background: Generally, primary maladaptive schemas and child-rearing styles are variables that affect behaviors of obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD). Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between schemas and child-rearing styles with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the students of Iran University of Science and Technology in 2017. Methods: Research method was practical in terms of objective; it was descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all students with obsession ((BA students of Iran University of Science and Technology(240 students)); out of whom 150 individuals were selected as a sample size(through Cochran sample size formula), using a convenience sampling method. Data collection was done based on early maladaptive schemas questionnaire, child-rearing styles questionnaire, and Yeel Brown s (1989) obsessive- compulsive disorder questionnaire.
