The
purpose of this study was to examine the effect of transactional analysis
training on love styles of couples in Khoram- abad. It was a quasi-experimental
design with pre and post-tests and a control group. The population was the
couples who referred to counseling centers in Khoram- abad in 2008-2009. The
sample consisted of 30 couples (60 persons) who were randomly selected, and
assigned to two experimental and control groups. The couples in the
experimental group received transactional analysis training, and at the end,
both groups took a post-test. Lee’s love styles questionnaire was used as the
measuring instrument. The results of analysis of covariance showed that
transactional analysis training significantly affected eros, storge, pragma,
mania and agape love styles (p0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that
transactional analysis training seems to be able to improve eros, storge,
pragma, mania and agape love styles of the couples.
