Most of behavioural problems in children reflect interpersonal intricate conditions between family members, parents in particular. The present research was to compare perceived parental rearing, early maladaptive schemas and spiritual intelligence of female students in divorced and intact families. The method applied in this research was descriptive-correlation. The research sample comprised 146 subjects who were selected from among 4754 female high school students from Gorgan in the academic year 2014-2015 by using available sampling method. They completed the short egna minnen betraffande uppfostran (EMBU-S), the young schema questionnaire (YSQ) and the spiritual intelligence self-report inventory (SISRI). The data was analyzed using, logistic regression, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The findings indicted that there was a positive relationship between students’ perceived parental rearing and early maladaptive schemas both in divorced and intact families. from among early maladaptive schemas components, only five components i.e. abandonment, defectiveness/ shame, failure, emotional inhibition and hyper-criticalness would predict whether the families were divorced or intact. Also, from among emotional intelligence components, only three components including personal meaningful, self-awareness and critical thinking would predict whether the families were divorced or intact. finally, all three components of perceived parental rearing would predict whether the families were divorced or intact.
