It is not reasonable to believe that people`s reaction based on their logical thinking. Some psychological factors such as anxiety (As an effective factor inside humans) could make people`s behaviors in their lifecycle. therefore¡ human`s political believes will also be affected by these motivators. In paper¡ this issue has recognized that anxiety has a dual effect on different levels of political behaviors. In one aspect¡ increase in anxiety will make direct effect on political behavior¡ and on the other hand¡ if anxiety breaks its red line¡ it will have decreasing effect on political behavior of society by motivating defensive mechanisms¡ and as a result society isolation and surveillance will appear. By using proper tools¡ defensive mechanisms could be controlled and political behavior of the society will turn back to its equilibrium point. Finally a dynamic system model has been described for this purpose.
