The aim of this study was to develop a structural conceptual model of abnormal self-centeredness in Islamic sources and to examine its validity. First, with a qualitative approach, in the section of collecting texts and reaching selected texts, the method of semantic domains and in the section of text analysis, the method of qualitative content analysis of Siah and Shannon (2005) were used as the method of contractual content analysis. For this purpose, three coding steps were performed and 526 codes were identified in the open coding stage, 74 pivot codes in the first stage, 15 pivot codes in the second stage, 3 selected codes as the main category and 1 central core category; And the conceptual model of the abnormal centralization structure was drawn. Then, in a quantitative approach, using the method of evaluating the opinions of experts, the content validity index of the model from 11 experts was measured by purposive sampling. Findings showed that the structure of abnormal centralization has 4 components (self-satisfaction, self-superiority, self-expression and self−exaggeration), 36 signs, 6 causal conditions (not knowing self or its place, not knowing God or His place, intrinsic self-control, self-doubt, intrinsic interest To be seen is inherently infinite) and 11 consequences.
