There are three main ego states or roles that people can play in transactions according to transactional analysis: parent, adult, and child. The parent role can be either nurturing or controlling. The adult role is rational and assertive. The child role can be natural, adapted, or like a "little professor." Transactions between people can take three forms: complementary (between matching roles), crossed (between mismatched roles), or ulterior (hidden motives).
