Based on the Morgan table, 110 people were selected using available sampling and were responded to Incompatible Schema Questionnaire of Yang (2001) and Rutter's External Control Source (1966). The factual and content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by expert opinion. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the research variables was obtained higher than 0.7, which indicated the internal coordination of the items and confirmation of the reliability of the questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis using SPSS software was used for data analysis. Findings showed that only obedience schema had a positive and significant relationship with external control source. In such a way that for each unit increase in the obedience score of the external control source score increases to 0.311 on the basis of the standardized beta coefficient, and this increase is significant. In the case of self-sacrifice and seeking acceptance schemas, the significant level was higher than 0.05%. Therefore, the relationship with the external control source was not significant.
