    Flag = text_area.val

    if (jQuery(this).val() == "1") {
        jQuery("#text_area").val(Flag + "success1");

You need to use jQuery("#text_area").val() or jQuery("#text_area")[0].value , because val is neither a valid jQuery or JavaScript selector

jQuery("#analysis_selectbox").change(function(){
    Flag = jQuery("#text_area").val();

    if (jQuery(this).val() == "1") 
    {
    jQuery("#text_area").val(Flag + "success1");
    }
    else {
    jQuery("#text_area").val(Flag + "success2");  

    }
});
