Mixed variance analysis was analyzed. Results: The results showed the effect of schema therapy intervention on aggression (P = 5.33, P = 0.028) and life expectancy (P = 4.62, P = 0.040) and the stability of this effect in the follow-up phase. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest evidence that schematic therapy intervention is a good way to reduce aggression and improve life expectancy, so it can be used to improve the mental state of people with sexual minorities.
