Communication is at the core of all human relationships and social interactions. Ego states, as defined in Transactional Analysis, are related to The Big Five personality traits in a manner that allows them to portray various facets of an individual's total personality. (Berne, 1961) This research sets out to examine how the "big five" personality characteristics affect the sense of self-worth in young adults. Two hundred Indian youths, ranging in age from twenty-five to thirty-five (52.7% female, 47.3% male), were part of the research. They were given two instruments: the Transactional Analysis Questionnaire, which was based on the work of Berne (1961), and the Neo Five Factor Inventory, which was created by Costa and McCrae (1992). Several linear regression analyses were performed on the data. According to the results, the agreeableness and openness to experience personality qualities are significantly predicted by the parent's ego state (R2 = 0.24, -0.37 and -0.30, respectively). Adult ego state was also found to be not a significant predictor of the big five personality traits in the regression study. Also, with a beta coefficient of.045 and an R2 of 0.26, the researchers found that a child's ego state significantly predicts the neuroticism personality trait.
