Inspired by the fact that there has been not much study about low-income child’s mental development, especially, around Shia lake industrial area, This study focuses on the 4th to 6th grade of the elementary school of this area. Because the children in this area lack spending time with their parents, they are more vulnerable to teen crimes and easily engage in those activities. Another purpose of this study, therefore, is to expose those children to parental care and social and cultural experiences so that they can develop a positive self-image and self- esteem. Therefore, based on the transactional analysis program of the stroke theory to those low income elementary school children, I hypothesized as following:
Hypothesis 1: After taking transactional analysis group consultation program of the stroke theory, self-state will be shown a significant difference in between pretest and posttest
Hypothesis 2: After taking transactional analysis group consultation program of the stroke theory, self-esteem will be shown a significant in between pretest and posttest.
Hypothesis 3: After appling transactional analysis group consultation program of the stroke theory, self-esteem will be shown a significant in between pretest and posttest.
The consequences based on the experiments are as following:
First, after analyzing the results of the tests used (NP, AC, CP, A and FC), there is a noticeable score difference in NP and AC while there is not a noticeable score difference in CP, A, and FC. For that reason, NP and AC were selected and CP, A, FC were rejected.
Second, after applying transactional analysis group consultation program of the stroke theory, the result of the self-respect test shows a remarkable difference. Moreover, the results of the self-confidence, friend-relationship, and approval of others’ existence test confirm with a Hypotheses.
Third, after applying transactional analysis group consultation program of the stroke theory, the result of the positive self-image test is found in NP. For subordinated factors, CP is shown in CP and NP is shown in self- confidence.
The study has resulted in a positive influence in terms of emphasizing the applicable preventive side for child group which have special quality of environment similar and possibility that group program for the low income child to discharge without support of big fund.
In conclusion, the program needs to be more specific and diverse according to the need and difference of each child. Also, the program should not limit to one group of children, rather the program should be expanded to different groups of children in order to prove its effectiveness.
