Participants consisted of 270 people, 210 (77.8%) women and 60 (22.2) men. The average age of the participants is 21.19. In the data analysis of the study, correlation analysis, simple and multiple regression analysis and t-test were used by using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program version 23.0 package program. According to the results of the research, there is a low level negative significant relationship between the positive schema total scores of the emerging adults and the sub-dimensions of rumination and obsessive thinking; It is seen that there is a moderately positive and significant relationship between positive schema total scores and reevaluation, one of the sub-dimensions of emotion regulation. Self-efficacy, achievement, optimism and worthiness levels from positive schema and positive schema sub-dimensions of emerging adults explain 32% of reappraisal from emotion regulation sub-dimensions, and trust levels from positive schema sub-dimensions explain 5% of suppression levels from emotion regulation sub-dimensions. Suggestions were made based on the results of the study.
