Abstract

Political psychology and political behaviorism are approaches based on which a better understanding of the effects of political leaders in the occurrence and victory of social changes can be achieved. The aim of the current research is to try to answer this question, how was the personality and political behavior of Imam Khomeini effective in attracting people to realize the revolution and the ideal society? The hypothesis that is raised following the mentioned question is that Imam Khomeini's personality and political behavior, which is a result of his special type of upbringing and political-Islamic ethics, is followed as a model of behavior by different people and as a result, it has led to their mobilization and participation in revolutionary and post-revolutionary political-social developments. In order to better explain the issue, Carl Rogers' humanistic psychology has been chosen as the theoretical framework of the current research in order to better understand the prominent components and characteristics of Imam Khomeini's personality and character. Then his spiritual influence on the people and setting the stage for cooperation during the revolution and its continuation will be carefully examined. In this research, content analysis and document-library methods have been used to collect data and analyze them to answer the research questions.
