Shah Abbas I Safavid, one of the most significant rulers of the Iranian history, ascended to power during a period when Iran faced foreign invasions and internal rebellions. Over his 42-year reign, he transformed a fragmented land lacking central authority into a prosperous and powerful Iran. While his life and actions have been extensively studied historically, a systematic analysis of his personality and political behavior based on political psychology theories has received less attention. This study addresses this gap by examining the political psychology of Shah Abbas the Great to provide a better understanding of the reasons behind his performance during his reign. The research seeks to answer the question: "What are the most important personality and psychological traits of Shah Abbas I of the Safavid dynasty?" The methodology involves qualitative content analysis, with data collected from documentary sources. The findings indicate that a combination of feelings of inferiority stemming from childhood experiences (parental distance, birth order, and manipulation by the Qizilbash) and the critical conditions at the start of his reign (arising from Iran's weakness against neighbors and his father's ineffective governance) played a decisive role in shaping his personality. These factors led to the development of dual compensatory behavioral mechanisms: "self-centeredness" through domineering power-seeking and simultaneous "other-centeredness" through benevolent populism beneficial to society.
