TRANSACTION ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION:
When two people interact with each other there results a social transaction. Analysis of the social transactions is called Transactional Analysis (TA). A formal definition of TA is that it is “The study of moves people make in their dealing with each other and is based on the idea that people’s interactions resemble moves in games”.
Dr.Eric Berne, the originator of TA, considers a transaction as the unit of social intercourse. A transaction consists of a transactional stimulus (TS) and a transactional response (TR). TS is the behavior (verbal or nonverbal) produced by one person in acknowledgement of the presence of others when two or more people encounter each other. TR is the response to TS by another person.
