Parent, Adult, and Child.

The Parent ego state is influenced by parental

figures and represents learned behaviors and
values.

The Adult ego state is rational and objective, making

decisions based on facts and information.

individuals.

They can be complementary, where the ego

states of both parties are in alignment.

Transactions can also be crossed, where the

ego states of the parties are not in alignment.

Transactional Analysis identifies four life
positions: I'm OK, You're OK; I'm OK, You're
not OK; I'm not OK, You're OK; and I'm not
OK, You're not OK.

These life positions influence our

perceptions and interactions with others.

The goal is to strive for an "I'm OK, You're

OK" life position for healthy relationships.
