This qualitative content analysis explored the principles of psychological development based on Transcendent Wisdom (Mulla Sadra’s philosophy). Data from books, articles, and e-libraries were categorized. The research results indicate that, based on transcendental wisdom, three sets of principles of psychological transformation are identified: 1. The principles governing psychological development process, including gradualness, hierarchical stages, progression from simple to complex, continuity, differential onset/extension, bodily dependence, role of hazards, pattern and predictability, multidimensionality. 2. The principles governing psychological development orientations, including divine origin/destination, perfection-orientation, Inverse correlation with bodily development. 3. The principles governing psychological development rate, including Individual differences, variable speed across hierarchical levels. Accepting these principles reshapes researchers’ perspectives on human development, transforming their methodologies and research resources and expanding the scope/goals of developmental psychology in different areas.
