        The purpose of the present study is to review the components of Imām Khomeyni's leadership and behavior from the view of theorists in the field of political psychology and political science. In this regard and using a descriptive-analytic method, it was attempted to explain the essence, character, and political behavior of his leadership and the cause of his deep impact on the social, cultural, and political transformations. The comparative review of the two theories by Alfred Adler and Max Weber and leadership characteristics of Imām Khomeyni revealed that some of appropriate strategies in his political behavior include commitment, justice, self-purification, avoidance of hypocrisy, life style, creativity, decisiveness, and so on. Contrary to charismatic leaders and Max Weber's theory, he paid attention to the consolidating role of people and regarded the source of legitimacy to be divine not personal. He was immensely against gathering fanatic followers for himself as well as mass and passive outlook on people. Manuscript profile

        The political psychology of Ahmad Shah Qajar, in whose time the Qajar dynasty was extinct and a new period began in Iran with the establishment of the Pahlavi government, is very useful for understanding the political developments of this period. This article tries to answer the question of what role did the political personality of Ahmad Shah play in the fall of the Qajar government with the descriptive-analytical method and with the help of Karen Horne's theory? The findings of this study show that Ahmad Shah Qajar was a character mixed with fear and despair, which manifested itself in fear of the history of his father and ancestors, fear of foreign powers, fear of internal opponents, and fear of rumors and propaganda. This fear, which was formed in his personality since his childhood due to internal and external sad factors, caused him fear and despair towards his leadership and was also given to him so that he could not take decisive measures with courage and resourcefulness to deal with Sardar Sepe and other domestic and foreign opponents, and finally, by leaving Keshu and not returning, he contributed to the downfall of Qajar.

        Political development in 21st century Turkey is linked with the formation of the Justice and Development Party in 2002 and Erdogan's prime ministership in 2003. Through the lens of Erdogan's political psychology, we come to the conclusion that he initially wanted to create a platform for political development, which continued with the events of the years after 2011 and especially 2016, but this path was slowed down but not stopped. until before that; The Republic of Turkey witnessed some ups and downs in adapting the social structure to the institution of power, but Erdogan was able to cover this gap. Erdoğan's personality and psychological characteristics have played a direct role in his leadership style, which can be examined from the perspective of political psychology paradigms. Contrary to some criticisms, Erdoğan has not only created a political blockade in Turkey, but has also forced various currents to take political action to confront him. In this article, Edward Shils' theory of supported democracy is used, which overlaps with Erdogan's category of political psychology. So; The role of the government in the political development process of Turkey in the era of justice and development will be examined and analyzed according to Erdogan's political psychology. This research follows a descriptive-analytical method. Using this method, we seek to analyze the indicators of political development according to Shiles in the Ak Party discourse and Erdogan's political behavior. Manuscript profile
