بررسی تأثیر ساختارهای اقتدارگرا بر تعارضات روانی شخصیت‌های رمان اللجنة بر اساس رویکرد روان‌شناسی سیاسی هارولد لاسول

Political psychology explores the interplay between psychological processes and political actions, utilizing concepts such as power and motivation to analyze political behaviors. Within this framework, political novels serve as a reflection of psychological and social complexities, offering a rich platform for examining individuals’ interactions with power structures. Al-Lajnah (1981) by Sonallah Ibrahim, a prominent work in Arab political literature, provides an ideal context for political psychology analysis. This study applies Harold Lasswell’s theory to investigate the interaction of personality traits (agitator, reformer, administrator), psychological needs (autonomy, approval-seeking, power-seeking), and power structures (political, economic, social) in shaping the political actions of the novel’s characters. The research aims to assess the extent to which these interactions influence the intensity of political actions and to analyze how psychological conflicts and contradictory behaviors emerge within authoritarian structures. The methodology combines qualitative and quantitative content analysis of the novel, using Lasswell’s framework to examine characters’ political behaviors. Findings reveal that authoritarian structures exacerbate unmet psychological needs, particularly in the narrator, leading to identity crises and contradictory behaviors, while personality traits significantly influence the intensity of these actions.
