Examining the Role of Transactional Analysis in Modifying Ego States among Adolescents.

Ego states, conceptualized within Transactional Analysis, represent distinct patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that govern interpersonal interactions. In adolescence, a formative stage of cognitive, emotional, and social development, the regulation of these ego states is pivotal for healthy personality functioning. The main objective of this research is to examine the role of transactional analysis in modifying the ego states among adolescents. 90 school students (44 males & 46 females) in the age range between 14 and 18 years were selected through a Random sampling method. The tool used was Ego States Questionnaire (ESQ-R-I) developed by Fiorenzo Laghi et al. (2020). In this research, the transactional analysis module was used as a psychological intervention to examine the efficacy and modification of ego states. The findings showed that there was a statistically significant mean differences in the Critical Parent, Nurturing Parent, Adult, Adapted child and Free child between Pre and Post assessment among Adolescents.
