Abstract O
One of the applied branches of psychology is behavior therapy. In behavioral therapy, using experimental psychology, especially learning psychology, techniques and methods are extracted and used in order to change and often correct people’s behavior. The two schools of behaviorism, Pavlov and Skinner, together with the theory of social learning and the theory of cognitive reconstruction, have proposed the most important theories about behavior change. Using the data of these theories, this research tried to identify and present the application of behavior change methods in the life of Imam Riḍā (as) with a descriptive- analytical typology approach. The results indicate that in Razavi’s life, the methods of cognitive reconstruction and observational learning are in the position of creating desirable behavior and the methods of primary, social, exchange and feedback reinforcements are identified, also, the use of the principle of facilitation in the position of stabilizing and expanding desirable behavior and methods of inhibition, depriving positive reinforcement and compensating the position of reducing or eliminating undesirable behavior can be recognized.
