According to Piaget, it occurs when a person moves from the stage of objective operations to formal operations of self-centeredness. At this stage, the adolescent has difficulty distinguishing between his or her own abstract views and those of others. One of the states of cognitive distortion in adolescents is the personal myth that at this stage he thinks is in the center of everyone's attention and has an impact on individual decisions and risky behaviors that can affect the general health of adolescents. In the present study, the relationship between personal myth, early maladaptive schemas and general health of third year male and female high school students in Islamshahr has been investigated. For this purpose, 300 students (136 boys and 164 girls) who were selected by cluster random sampling method answered three questionnaires of personal myth, Young's early maladaptive schemas and general health. Mean and standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression, independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is a statistically positive and significant relationship between personal myth, early maladaptive schemas and general health, but a negative and significant relationship conceptually. According to the stepwise regression model, it was found that fourteen after the initial maladaptive schemas and personal myths were able to predict general health and were able to explain 90% of the variance of general health variables. %U https://ejst.samipubco.com/article_154920_27684c6a8d04a3ce2d65e84301a8db36.pdf
