Abstract

Recently, the importance of mental health has been emphasized, and clinical practice and research for egogram has been attracted attention. Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) has been a reliable and useful battery for psychological evaluation. Authors and colleagues have continued several reports of TEG so far. Egogram has 5 egos, which are Critical Parent (CP), Nurturing Parent (NP), Adult (A), Free Child (FC) and Adapted Child (AC). Each factor can be calculated by the points from 0 to 20. Subjects were 98 university students and the results were analyzed in comparison with previous standard data of TEG. The results were as follows: i) CP; the average value tended to be slightly lower, but the shape of the distribution was similar, ii) NP; it showed almost the same results as general people, iii) A; average value is similar, but the distribution was different, and no case was found with less than 5 points, iv) FC; average value was higher than general public, and distribution was deviated to high level, v) AC; mean value was higher compared with general people, and distribution was deviated to high level. Several characteristic points were found, which will be worthwhile to psychological development in the future.
