Objective: The present study aimed to validate the ideal personality model from Rumi’s perspective and compare it with cognitive and humanistic approaches.
Methodology: This study is applied in terms of its objective and employs a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) exploratory design, utilizing meta-synthesis in the qualitative phase and a descriptive-survey approach in the quantitative phase. The study population in the qualitative phase included theoretical foundations and related literature from domestic databases (2001-2023) and international sources (2000-2023). In the quantitative phase, the population comprised faculty members in the field of educational sciences from Islamic Azad Universities. The sample size in the qualitative phase was determined through systematic elimination based on the PRISMA model flowchart, while in the quantitative phase, 20 individuals were selected using purposive sampling and the principle of data saturation. The data collection instruments included library documents in the qualitative phase and a model validation questionnaire in the quantitative phase. To assess validity in the qualitative phase, a 27-item checklist based on the PRISMA model was used, while Cohen’s kappa coefficient was applied to calculate reliability. In the quantitative phase, content and construct validity were evaluated, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients along with composite reliability were used to assess reliability, with the results indicating that the instruments were valid and reliable. The data analysis method employed thematic analysis (basic, organizing, and overarching themes).
Findings: The findings of this study revealed that the ideal personality model from Rumi’s perspective consists of the following dimensions: social aspects of human personality, self-awareness and self-knowledge, emotional regulation and inner balance, and life experience and learning. These dimensions include components such as empathy and interpersonal connections, social commitment and sense of belonging, constructive interaction and cooperation, ethical and spiritual values, purification and spiritual transcendence, contemplation and wisdom, acceptance of personal responsibilities and avoidance of projection, personal growth and self-actualization, openness to criticism, refraining from fault-finding, emotional regulation, appropriate emotional expression, well-being, attachment, perspectives and attitudes, and challenge management.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that the ideal personality model from Rumi’s perspective encompasses various dimensions such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, social interactions, and personal growth, which overlap with components of cognitive and humanistic approaches. These results can be applied in the fields of education, personality psychology, and personal development.
