Women in Iranian politicsCase study of the Qajar period (Adler theory and the political psychology of Mahdalia III)

Political psychology is a way to examine the personality of individuals and to find out the reasons for the actions and behavioral reactions of individuals to various issues and matters. In the leading research of Mahdalia III, it is examined and analyzed according to Adler theory and political psychology. According to the obtained data, Mahdalia is known for having three distinct characteristics: a resourceful, powerful, political and local woman, a second woman playing mother roles, and a third Muslim woman engaged in charitable and charitable affairs. Which is examined in three time periods: 1- Childhood and before marriage, 2- The period of his marriage and divorce, 3- The period of the reign of his son Naser al-Din Shah. In this study, the authors try to introduce a different but real face of this woman, who is one of the last powerful Iranian women in the field of politics, emphasizing Adler's theory.In his theory, Adler considers the issue of inferiority as a motivating force in human behavior and believes that it has its roots in childhood and can be studied in three personality types: organ inferiority, cherished and neglected, in people with this problem. In the case of the researcher, according to the tenderness in childhood and then the negligence in the period of marriage and the compensation of the humiliation caused by it during the reign of her child at this time can be examined. According to the research, it seems that Mahdalia's dissatisfaction with life with his wife Mohammad Shah, had an effect on the way he treated Naser al-Din Shah and interfered in government affairs.
