Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of Transactional Analysis (TA) on Depressive and Aggressive Adolescent students. Around 200 adolescent students (100 Experimental Group, and 100 Control Group) who scored high in depression and aggression were taken as sample for the study. Depression was measured by Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II, 1996) and Aggression was measured through Aggression Scale. In this study, it was hypothesised that TA will have a positive impact in reducing depression and aggression among Adolescents. The TA intervention was given to the Experimental Group for a period of 24 weeks and the Control Group was not given any intervention. Post-test data on BDI and AS were obtained for both Experimental and Control Groups.

FINDINGS of the study revealed that the impact of TA is positive in reducing the depression and aggression among adolescents.
