The present study aimed to predict the Entitlement/Grandiosity schema based on the levels of resilience and emotional intelligence among elementary school students.<br> <b>Methods</b>: This study utilized a descriptive-correlational design with regression modeling. The statistical population consisted of all upper-primary school students in Tehran during the 2024-2025 academic year. A sample of 400 students was selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Young Schema Questionnaire for Children (YSQ-C), the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Youth Version), and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis via SPSS-26.<br> <b>Results</b>: The results indicated a significant inverse relationship between emotional intelligence, resilience, and the entitlement schema (p < 0.01). Regression analysis revealed that these two variables collectively predicted 38% of the variance in the Entitlement/Grandiosity schema. Specifically, emotional intelligence (&beta; = -0.45) and resilience (&beta; = -0.32) were significant negative predictors of the target schema.<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: Based on the findings, deficits in adaptive capacities (resilience) and emotion management skills (emotional intelligence) are key factors in the formation of entitlement-based beliefs in children.</span></span></span></span></div> Entitlement/Grandiosity Schema, Resilience, Emotional Intelligence, Elementary Students, Early Maladaptive Schemas 0 0 http://ijer.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-591-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Rashin Kazeminejad rashink@iau.ac.ir 10031947532846006168 10031947532846006168 No M.A. in Educational Psychology, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Gholamreza Azizi azizigh@iau.ac.ir 10031947532846006169 10031947532846006169 Yes Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Humanities, Saveh Branch, Islamic Azad University, Saveh, Iran Katayoun Haddadi haddadik@iau.ac.ir 10031947532846006170 10031947532846006170 No Department of Psychology, South Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran
