Abstract

Background: Health problems concerning psychosomatic bio-psycho-social matters have been recently emphasized. Among them, the research for transactional analysis (TA) and egogram have been in focus. Authors have investigated egograms in various subjects including university students. Case presentation: The case is a 23-year old male student. When he entered the university at 19 years, his egogram was good-hearted type (Type Na). His current egogram is administrator type (AC inferior). Concerning egogram factors, the actual values were as follows: Critical Parent (CP) was 3 to 5, Nurturing Parent (NP) was 14 to 15, Adult (A) was 5 to 15, Free Child (FC) was 8 to 12 and Adapted Child (AC) was 12 to 5. Discussion: Elevated CP may be from understanding rules and organizational theories in society. Increased A is probably from learning the expertise of liberal arts, computers, mechanics and others in the university. When he was a freshman, he could not decide several matters by following other people from high AC level. Through his various experiences, he can judge adequately with achieving human growth. Consequently, AC seemed to be at the standard level. The current report will be expected to become useful reference for further research in the future.

Highlights

People are living in current society associated with various stresses
Discussions on bio-psycho-social issues, selfefficacy, and self-affirmation have been recognized in psychology, psychosomatic medicine, psychiatry, education, and other fields [1]
Case presentation The case is a 23-year old male student. He is 1st grade of university graduate student at present. He received a psychological test of Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) recently

Summary

Discussion

As for the development of egogram research, TEG has been applied in Japan. The standard data were shown in thousands of subjects [7,8,9,10,11]. The frequency of the adult dominant pattern (computer and intellectual type) has been increasing [8] This tendency is the same in our research for university graduate students [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. Adult factor has increased in 4 years Interpretation of this rise is thought to show the improved overall ability from university education for long [6]. He has always thought deeply and he could improve and develop himself through his research life in the university [9] He has been confident to be supported by egogram changes. 23-year-old student showed the egogram changes with increased CP, A, FC and decreased AC factors.
