description Introduction: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison of emotional schemas and HEXACO personality traits between married women with a willingness to bear children and those without.Method: The research employed a causal-comparative design. The target population for this study included two groups. The first group comprised married women who desired to have children and visited health centers in Tehran. The second group consisted of married women who did not wish to have children, specifically students from the Islamic Azad University of Tehran Central Branch in 2023. Using a convenience sampling method, 100 women (50 were selected as participants—50 women with childbearing a willingness to bear children 50 married women without childbearing such willingness. These participants asked to fill complete the Emotional Schemas Scale short Short Form of developed by Leahy, as well as the Brief HEXACO inventory Inventory of created by Vries. In For data analysis, multivariate of variance variance (MANOVA) used employed.Results: The results of the multivariate analysis of variance indicated a significant difference in emotional schemas, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness between women with and without a willingness to bear children. However, no significant difference was found in honesty-humility and openness to experience among women in both groups. Specifically, women who expressed a willingness to bear children had lower mean scores in emotional schemas and emotionality compared to those who did not. Conversely, women with a willingness to bear children exhibited higher mean scores in extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness than their counterparts without such willingness.Discussion and conclusion: Based on this research, it is concluded that when planning for childbearing and increasing the country's population, it is essential to consider personality traits such as emotionality, extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, as well as emotional schemas. The findings of this study should be utilized in this area, and it is .necessary to pay attention to these cases in psychological interventions to encourage women to bear children
