Objectives  Maladaptive interpersonal schemas can trigger distressing emotions and drive dysfunctional behaviour that leads to difficulties in interpersonal relationships and perpetuates the original maladaptive schemas. This study sought to identify patterns of association between trait emotional intelligence ( TEI ), early maladaptive schemas ( EMS ), and coping styles in a non‐clinical sample. Emotionality profiles were hypothesized to be associated with  EMS  severity and poorer coping, as early experiences can shape an individual's self‐perceptions through reinforcement by maladaptive responses.    Design  Cross‐sectional study with 142 undergraduate students.    Methods  We obtained self‐reports of  TEI , coping styles, and  EMS .    Results  Disengagement coping was strongly correlated with  EMS  severity ( r  =   .565,  p  <   .01).  TEI  was negatively correlated with  EMS  ( r  =   −.660,  p  <   .01) and Disengagement ( r  =   −.405,  p  <   .01). Emotionality, Impaired Autonomy, and Overvigilance partially mediated the relationship between Disconnection and Emotion‐Focused Disengagement. Self‐Control fully mediated the relationship between Impaired Limits and Problem‐Focused Disengagement.    Conclusions  The findings suggest that lower  TEI  is associated with the likelihood for maladaptive coping in response to  EMS . The preference for certain coping styles associated with a particular domain of  EMS  may be explained by an individual's perceived metacognitive ability to regulate their stress and emotions. When individuals’ needs for love, safety, and acceptance from others are not met, there might be poorer perceived self‐efficacies in Emotionality and the tendency to cope through emotional avoidance. Individuals with difficulties establishing internal limits are more likely to respond with problem avoidance, possibly due to deficient distress tolerance. Longitudinal studies with a clinical population are warranted to replicate these findings.    Practitioner points    Clinicians will likely find it helpful to consider their clients’  TEI  to facilitate more individualized formulation and treatment planning, by considering whether related emotional regulation problems might be innate or a deficit in skills  Implies the need to do more basic emotional regulation work to supplement and strengthen the established imagery work in schema therapy (ST).
