Principles of Behavior Modification and change in the Conducts of the Fourteen Infallibles (A.S)

Present paper aims at investigating the principles of behavior modification and change in the conducts of the fourteen infallibles (A.S), using a documentary and analytic method. To this aim, general principles are inferred and extracted through investigating the conducts (deeds and words) of these men of honor. These general principles are as follows: the principle of preserving man’s dignity and worthiness, the principle of necessity of conducting behavior, the principle of using tolerant methods prior to severe punitive ones, and the principle of using indirect and practical methods prior to direct and oral ones. The conducts of the Fourteen Infallibles show that these men of honor paid attention not only to the change but also modification of behavior.
