I see this dynamic everywhere, once you are familiar with the model you can't help but see. It is also useful for seeing it in ourselves which we don't to be less attuned to. I work in Software Engineering and have use this model with the teams I have managed. It's easy to understand and gives us all a language to better explain the social dynamics between us, especially when things go wrong and we are stressed.
I’ve got “games people play” sitting on my bookshelf but haven’t gotten around to it yet... might be time to take a crack at it. This dynamic has totally infected our political and social discourse
Not quite children - children are usually naive and focused on the future. What I think we're seeing is a convergence towards permanent adolescence, thanks to a combination of longer periods of education, higher levels of tiger parenting, and the fact that adults need to save money and teenagers really don't. Being trained to think only in terms of the present, the modern world is converging towards adolescence - always looking for something without even knowing what that is.
