Background:
Adolescence is a critical developmental stage, characterized by personal challenges and transitions, highlighting the importance of psychological well-being in maintaining positive mental health.
Purpose:
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of transactional analysis (TA) training in improving psychological well-being among adolescent girls.
Methodology:
A quasi-experimental study employed convenience sampling with 30 seventh-grade female high school students (M_age = 13.5). The participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving eight sessions of TA (n = 15) or a waitlist control group (n = 15). Both groups completed the short form version of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale pre- and post-intervention.
Results:
TA significantly improved psychological well-being in the experimental group compared to the control group (F = 4.68, p = 0.04).
Conclusion:
The findings suggest that TA is an effective intervention for enhancing adolescent psychological well-being, highlighting its potential as a valuable mental health strategy.
