scholarly journals The Impact on Self Perception of Ego States of a Transactional Analysis Introductory Training Course (TA 101)

The research examines the effects of transactional analysis (TA) 101 training upon self perceptions of ego-state dynamics, using the model of ego states incorporated into the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1980). Subjects completed the question-naires at the beginning and end of the training and one month later. The only statistically significant change was that Critical Parent decreased after the training and was still lowered one month later, although not as much. It was also found that gender was significant, but age was not.

This study investigated the extent to which college students' preference for humor could be predicted by ego states derived from Transactional Analysis. Scores on The Adjective Check List determined the ego states of Nurturant Parent, Critical Parent, Adult, Free Child, and Adapted Child. Preferences for nonsense, ethnic, and sexual humor were measured by scores on the Antioch Sense of Humor Inventory. A step-wise multiple regression, used to test the predictive power of the ego states, indicated that the Critical Parent ego state had a strong negative evaluation of nonsense humor, while the Free Child and Adapted Child were the strongest predictors of negative evaluation of ethnic humor. Categories of Critical Parent and Adapted Child provided the strongest prediction of positive preference for sexual humor.

The  article uses an empirical approach examining  the role of ego-states in the  choice of pedagogical professionals   174 students were involved in the study that aims to show the discrepancies of the states of  Parent, Child and Adolescence for choice of speciality and future work. The study subjects were provided with a Transactional Analysis Questionnaire (TAQ, 2014) and Thomas – Killman Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI, 1974).

A research study is described into the impact on Adult ego state and emotional stability of 36 adolescent students (with 36 in a control group) of a training programme based on transactional analysis concepts run in a school in Damascus. An experimental battery of instruments comprised existing and new instruments including an Ego-State Wheel, an Ego State Problem-Solving Scale, an Ego State Measure, the Emotional Stability Brief Measure, and the Geneva Emotion Wheel. Results showed differences in Adult and Free Child ego states and emotional stability, and some differences between boys and girls on Nurturing Parent and Adapted Child ego states.

The study investigated the relationships between pet-ownership or non-ownership among elderly subjects and scores on the Adjective Check List scales. It was hypothesized that pet-owners would score higher on the Self-confidence and Personal Adjustment scales and lower on the Abasement, Deference, and Succorance scales than non-owners. 104 adults completed an experimenter-designed questionnaire and the check list. An analysis of variance was performed on the standardized T scores for each scale. For owners and non-owners combined, the Scheffé test showed that males were significantly higher on the Need for Achievement and Endurance scales, while females were significantly higher on the Lability scale. Pet-owners were significantly higher on the number of adjectives checked and on the Nurturance scale and significantly lower on the Succorance and Abasement scales than non-owners. Two of the interactions were significant. Male pet-owners scored significantly higher on the Defensiveness scale and male non-owners scored significantly higher on the number of unfavorable adjectives checked than did the other three groups. The differences suggest that pet-ownership may be psychologically advantageous to the elderly. Further research is needed.

Growing concern with population control has focused attention on various methods of contraception including vasectomy. Psychological research on this topic is scant, however. In this study, 9 vasectomy candidates who were undergoing the operation were compared to 9 husbands whose wives were about to have a tubal ligation. Their responses on the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale and the Adjective Check List were compared. Most of the data showed no significant differences except on one scale of Counseling Readiness. The results, and others, indicate that vasectomy candidates may have a tendency to deny the anxiety connected with the operation due to its irreversible nature.

The Adjective Check List (ACL) and a self-rating schedule (SRS) made up of Murray's needs taken from the ACL manual were administered to 27 graduate students in psychology on two separate occasions. Test-retest reliabilities were low for both tests, SRS reliabilities being appreciably lower than those for the ACL. Correlations between these two measures of self-description were also low and varied considerably from one testing to the next. Correcting the average cross-correlations for unreliability in the two scales still indicated that slightly less than half of their reliable variance was held in common. Reasons for the poor reliabilities and the poor cross-correlations were discussed and avenues for further research suggested.

Article present the possibilities of use dance classes and psychosocial factors in a specific environmental associated with among demoralized adolescents. In this paper presents research conducted on a group of adolescents whose behaviour is characterized by demoralization and whose commitment of criminal offences resulted in them becoming the subject of an confinement corrective measure, i.e. being placed in a youth educational centre. The Adjective Check List ACL created by H.G. Gough and A. Helibrun, as well as the Profile of Mood States (POMS) developed by McNair, Lorr and Droppleman were used in the research. After twelve weeks of systematic dance classes, the test was repeated and noticeable changes in self-perception of the surveyed girls were observed. The average values of 14 out of 37 scales of the ACL questionnaire after the end of the project differed significantly (p <0.05) compared to the results before the start of the project. Moreover, after each week of the project, a comparison of the survey results with the POMS questionnaire was carried out in terms of the severity of individual moods. The analysis shows that the subjects successively had a significant decrease in the level of all five negative states and an increase in positive mood

As part of an evaluative study of the impact of the year in which initial classroom teaching experience occurs, a sample of 768 students in concurrent and consecutive teacher education courses responded to test-retest administrations of a set of professional self perception scales and a measure of commitment to teaching. Reliable individual changes over the eight month period of the study were observed on commitment and the seven dimensions of self perception measured, and the relationships between these two facets of variables were found to be stronger at posttest than at pretest. Additionally, significant concomitant changes in self perception and commitment occurred. The results suggest that professional self perceptions become more central to the commitment of student teachers during training and that self perception and commitment to teaching are dynamically interrelated. It is concluded that course and practicum experiences during the year of professional experience have a major impact on the two facets of professional socialization studied.

Self-perception is the level of competency at which individuals evaluate themselves in certain areas or domains (Marsh & Shavelson, 1985). An individual’s self-perceptions contribute to their global self-worth and even predicts performance (Cuellar, 2014; Harter & Neemann, 2012). This study measures self-perception scores, as well as experiences with racial discrimination, of 306 NCAA Division I college athletes using the Self-Perception Profile for College Students (Harter & Neemann, 2012). Scores are compared across race. Findings suggest that White college athletes have significantly higher self-perception scores than college athletes of color - with recent discrimination (within the last year) as a significant predictor of multiple areas of self-perception. The implications of this study suggest that faculty and other campus stakeholders should pursue positive relationships with the college athletes they encounter. Positive relationships between college athletes and faculty may help raise college athlete self-perceptions, and in turn, performance in a variety of areas.
