Mythology allocated a large part, fundamental and effectively to the human mind. The knowledge of mythology in fact recognizes the important infrastructure of ideas, culture and civilization. One of the most common ways to study mythology is to implement psychological ideas in mythology. The result is not only a better understanding of mythology, but also a better understanding of human psyche and man’s individual and collective life. In this study, we want to take advantage of Jung's theory of personality psychology to explore the myth of the creation of man in ancient Persian mythology. In this paper we refer to Jung's theory of personality psychology to explore human creation in ancient Persian myth. Carl Jung believed that in human there are two sexes together. Kiumarth, the first human in Persian mythology is a creature who denotes both a man and a woman: Mashya and Mashyana. The evolution of the first giant into the king-priest, the expansion of his character and finally his martyrdom are, according to Jung's theory, the steps that existed in the Persian myth of human creation. This article studies the human creation on the basis  of ancient Persian and the Middle Persian sources in the light of Jung's personality theory.

Literature includes comprehensive areas and covers various topics and issues. It relates to the numerous studies and we can use different methods for analyzing and studying it. In other words, most of the issues of literature are “multi-ethnic” and have been firmly rooted in diverse sciences such as psychology. The concept of spiritual intelligence is encountered with the issues followed by meanings and values that because of them our intelligence will be shaped in a more enriched context and background of meanings. Although the term “spiritual intelligence” is not considered to be one of achievements in the area of mysticism and it is discussed in the field of psychology, it does not mean that this issue is totally abandoned in mystical works. To be fair, concepts related to spiritual intelligence and their equivalents are represented broadly and fruitfully in our mystical literature. The elements of religion and spirituality, especially spiritual intelligence, are of great significance in the era of mystical poem in Persian literature and Rumi’s poetry. The present study is library-based with a descriptive-analytical method which indicates that faith, peace, altruism and its practice in life and also the tolerance of the adversities of real world, are the prominent elements of spiritual intelligence in Rumi’s Mathnavi.

Analysis of human social behavior and interaction with others is a fundamental issue in social psychology. Since literary works and anecdotes are reflections of interpersonal actions and reactions of the existing realities in human societies, it is possible to analyze social behaviors and interactions in different societies through the analysis of the relationships between characters and their dialogues. Using descriptive-analytical method and the desk research approach, the present study analyzed Jami’s Haft Awrang, a book replete with anecdotes and allegories. We utilized the theories proposed by social psychology theorists such as Otto Klineberg, Elliott Aronson, and Baron. The findings of the study revealed that the five components of mass communication and persuasion, conformity, attraction, aggression, and prejudice are more outstanding than other components in Jami’s Haft Awrang. Consequently, we can say that the structure of many social psychology components corresponds to the traditional concepts and frameworks of anecdotes, and the social beliefs and intellectual forms of society play an obvious role in the emergence of each component.
