Transactional Analysis, according to Eric Berne is a powerful tool for human well-being. Eric Berne deals with the psychology behind our transactions. Transactional Analysis determines which ego state is implemented by the people interacting.
People are made with three basic ego states, which are the parent, adult and child. Some people have a controlling ego state and others are constantly changing. All parts are needed for a well-rounded personality.
The child is linked with intuition, creativity, drive and enjoyment. The adult is rational and has an objective and logical side, which allows work to get done. This is part of us that should be involved in making hard decisions because it weighs the pros and cons of the decision without prejudice.
The parent will care for others and ourselves; they are also useful for raising children and for routine decisions that require the superior thinking of the adult. A transaction can be either independent or crossed at the same time clear or hidden.
A simple independent transaction would be any transaction where the lines do not cross. These transactions are, "opinion (parent-parent), problem solving (adult-adult) or playing (child-child)."
Internal ego states can occur together with external ego states and can be spotted when the behavioural aspects of communication, seem intuitively out of line with what we feel is happening for example; a "nurturing parent" can have a positive side by being caring or they can have a negative side, by smothering a person with too much concern, or they may deny people the opportunity to develop their own skills.
The same can happen when being a "controlling parent", their positive sides may set rules and boundaries to...

...ys do it the same way. There are different ways of relating which everyone is capable of, designated as (parent), (adult) and (child). These can differ by their body attitude or their tone of voice as by what is being said for example, "I told you so" (parent), (I think I have made a mistake) (adult) or "why does this always happen to me (child).
Parent, adult and child are just ways of social functioning they are not a bad thing and can contribute positively to a well-adjusted personality.
In conclusion, transactional analysis is a good way of recognising people's behaviour. Having read all the handouts and observed my work in class, I feel I have a general idea in recognising what ego states other people are playing, in certain situations. I personally think it is a good way of finding out what ego state you are in, so you can control them if necessary.
The applied dimension of applied behavior analysis is determined by how much society is interested in the problem being studied. Which means that if it is not important to man and/or society it is not a behavior society is interested in. There is typically a close relationship between the behavior and stimuli under study and the subject in whom they are studied. For example, eating as it relates to metabolism versus eating as it relates to children/ adults eating too little or too much.
There are many different relationships that children develop as they grow, babies know that they cry to get attention from their parent for food or just a cuddle this is the beginning of learning to build relationships. Every child and family are different in how they believe relationships should be made and who children are allowed to talk to or be around so everyone is different when it comes to who they trust or get along with. Relationships children and young people may have are: parental, carer, sibling, family, friendship, emotional, acquaintance and professional. Parental/carer is the relationship between the child and the person who is their main carer(s).
Applied behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific application of set principals of operant behavior that branch off of the behaviorism philosophical approach of behavior. The core principals of Applied Behavior Analysis are to target an individual’s behavior for change that has a real life application for the individual. Moreover, of Applied Behavior Analysis seeks to discover the environmental variables that influence the individual behavior while simultaneously demonstrates a functional relationship between the manipulated environmental behavior and the target behavior.
The Reid Technique is an interrogation process that consists of two parts, the interview and a nine-step interrogation. The interview, which is non-accusatory in nature, gives the interviewer a chance to gather information related to the case. The interview also allows the interrogator to gather behavioral information by conducting what is known as a behavioral analysis interview (BAI) (Inbau, Reid, Buckley, & Jayne, 2013). The BAI consists of questions that were created to provoke verbal and non-verbal responses from suspects so that they can determine if the person is involved in the case or if they can be eliminated from suspicion (Associates J. E., 2004). This interview is used to assess an individual’s guilt so that the interviewer can decide if an interrogation is needed. Once an interview has been conducted and the investigator feels that further interrogation is needed, they start the nine-step process that they believe will get them a confession.
Beyond genetics, parents have an extremely significant impact on the emotional, moral, and social development of their children. This is understandable, as many children interact solely with their parents until they reach school-age. Parents have the ability to determine a child’s temperament, their social abilities, how well-behaved or in control of their emotions they are, how mature and ambitious the child will be, and so forth. (Sharpe) Furthermore, parents have both ideals for their children as well as ideals for themselves, and how they raise their children is deeply influenced by this.
Some experiences one cannot remember, such as the first year of life. Though we cannot remember this time of our life, we discovered and developed reactions to our world. Parent interaction is needed in this time to help develop a sense of trust; therefore, parents are a big deal as we develop. They are the ones we look to know how to respond to the environment around us. We develop some fears because our parents are afraid of them and we develop likes and dislikes based on what our parents’ interests are. Personality is a collaboration of our reactions to the world. Each personality is different, though some people may have similar aspects to another’s personality. The more common, the better they get
It is important for children to have positive relationships as it helps them to feel at ease and so they feel comfortable to separate from their parents or carers.
People are made with three basic ego states which are the parent, adult, and child. Some people have a dominant ego state and others are constantly changing. All parts are necessary for a well rounded personality. The child is linked with intuition, creativity, spontaneity, drive and enjoyment. The adult is the rational, objective and logical side which allows work to get done. This is the part of us that should be involved in difficult decision making because it weighs the pros and cons of the decision without bias. The parent is useful for actually raising children and for routine decisions that do not require the deductive rea...
The best way to describe Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is to understand human behavior, what causes the behavior and how to use evidence-based techniques to shape the individual’s behavior. I also view ABA as therapy for individuals who struggle with behavioral issues, finding ways to replace problem behaviors and reinforcing the participant’s appropriate behaviors in specific settings.
We need to give responsibility to our child because they are taking risk and assuming responsibility which often go hand in hand for Example “giving a child her first pocket knife at, say age 9 not only gives her the advantage of experiencing a little risk play with a sharp object. It signals that she’s responsible for keeping herself and other safer”. (Michael Ungal 28). In some case that experience allow to see them unsure about whether their child is competent enough to keep herself safe or responsibility freedom to play for our children alone and climber in the trees that allow advantage to take a good decision in grow up when we don’t say with it. Also when our children going to grow up is good decision too orient about your education because is one decision than they need to take, the parent don’t allow take decision about it, because when their children don’t take that thing they like or can be person frustrate in the future. For Example “when we have a lot of responsibility in our childhood or younger age all these responsibilities you had while younger were always like them”. (Michael Ungal
The apple does not fall far from the tree. At least that is what has been said for a long time. For some time now, a child has been considered to be a depiction of their parents, but it is never really explained why. There are many possible reasons for why that has become a theory. In many cases a child is exposed to their parents for most of their life and therefore acquire many of their similar traits, one of which includes their self identity. There are many factors that contribute to the development of an adolescent’s identity, one of the most crucial factors being the influence of their parents. It is not news that a parent’s actions have an affect on their offspring’s life, yet the real surprising thing is just how much a parent can affect
The ego is referred to as a “reality principle”, because the child starts to interact with the world during this stage, and becomes more aware or his or her surroundings. This is where a child will realize that other people have desires and needs as well, and he or she understands that impulsive or selfish behavior can lead to harm. The ego meets the needs of the id, while also understanding the reality of the situation. The ego seems to become Chief Bromden’s strongest trait, after McMurphy’s influence on him. Gradually, Bromden begins to follow McMurphy’s ways and fight for what he wants, while still being careful because he understands consequences. One example would be when he first speaks out to McMurphy. It had been years since he had ever said a word, yet he decided to start speaking. It was all because of the influence McMurphy had on him, and he was finally confident enough to feel like he could be heard, however he does not let the ward know he can speak, realizing all the trouble that could get him into. The next step is when McMurphy decides to go on the fishing trip with everyone. He had always dreamed about going outside the ward, and it finally is able to happen. This is the biggest development the Chief has through the story, also being a positive one. Freud believed if a person’s ego was strongest, they were extremely healthy,
An adult has to know things like what to do in important situations, like where to go to pay something, know how to drive and have to know where things are located and where to find them. A child doesn't have to know much because the adult looks out for them. Also, the adult needs to do things like build credit and pay things off on time in order to buy things they need, which tends to put major pressure on the adult thinking of how they will pay everything. An adult is expected to know how to create relationships with others and form bonds with other adults, meanwhile this comes easy to a child because they can usually meet kids anywhere and communicate easily just by playing with them. An adult has difficult time keeping friends because they have a busy schedule to work around in order to have time and hang out or go with a friend somewhere. A child's only responsibility is making friends. Getting good grades, and going to school for the most part, and doing what the adult says to
From birth, a child owns not much knowledge in his brain for the lacking of experiences. As time goes by, he would gradually learn to produce sound, to talk, to play, and to do certain things from his parents and the surrounding people. Also, his personality is influenced by the environment until he reaches his mature age. This is the time when he develops his own conscience and full awareness of the impact of the negativity and the goodness on his life. People say that a child is a product of the parents’ guidance for those reasons.
Interacting with others, in the context of a social institution, is a common phenomenon that takes place every day. Through this socialization, members within society interact and learn about what is expected of them. These social expectations are most commonly communicated through socialization agents, such as the family, media, peers, and religion. To start, the family is one of the social institutions that each individual is born into. By interacting with parents, and maybe even brother and sisters, a baby begins to understand what behavior is and is not normal and expectable. Through the influence of family members and the individual 's interaction with others in society, the individual begins to form his/her own views and beliefs. This view of the family is known as the functionalist theory. When considering whether different age groups agree that it is best for a family if the man is the money maker and the woman takes care of the home and family, it is crucial
