The present study seeks to provide a psychological analysis of Razavi's lifestyle based on Erickson's "life span" perspective. The first purpose of the author is to institutionalize the essence of Raḍavī lifestyle in individual and social emergencies, second, the display, classification, and promotion of public religion at the levels of practical and theoretical culture, and third, the psychological analysis of the research results. The data collection method is based on library-documentary and has been done with qualitative approach and Ericsson's research method of psychological-historical analysis.

The result of the research is that the examples of his identity reflect the beliefs, values and applied sciences and symbols of practical behavior and are the basis of religious, spiritual, moral-social and mental identities and have the ability to be modeled on the public.
