Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship among early maladaptive schemas, anxiety and procrastination, exploring the mediating effect of anxiety between early maladaptive schemas and procrastination. The sample included 559 undergraduate students who completed General Procrastination Scale, Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a self-made general demographic questionnaire. The results showed: (1) Anxiety and procrastination were positively predicted by Disconnection and Rejection, Impaired Autonomy and Performance, and Insufficient Self-Control/Self-Discipline schemas. (2) Trait anxiety could positively predict procrastination significantly, but state anxiety had no significant effect on procrastination. (3) Trait anxiety could partly mediate the relationship between Disconnection & Rejection schema and procrastination, the relationship between Impaired Autonomy & Performance schema and procrastination, and the relationship between Insufficient Self-Control/Self-Discipline schema and procrastination.

Key words: Early Maladaptive Schemas, Procrastination, State-anxiety, Trait-anxiety
