One of the interpersonal behaviors of human beings that social psychologists have been researching for years is supportive behavior. If we want to do research on supportive behavior in Islamic sources, verses and hadiths, what concepts should be taken into account? The aim of this study is to achieve concepts related to supportive behavior and types of supportive behavior in Islamic sources. For this purpose, using descriptive-analytical method and examining the definition of supportive behavior in psychology and concepts of Islamic ethics in the field of interpersonal behaviors, the writers of the paper reviewed Islamic sources, extracted twenty eight concepts that contained some of the constraints of the definition of supportive behavior in psychology, and explained the relationships among these concepts and supportive behavior based on the definition of supportive behavior in psychology. The content validity index (CVI ) was used to obtain the content validity. A questionnaire including the restrictions on the definition of supportive behavior , extracted concepts, their definitions and the type of their relationship with supportive behavior in psychology was developed and presented to 7 experts. Finally, based on experts’ opinions, 23 concepts of relationship with supportive behavior in psychology were confirmed. Based on the concepts approved by experts, supportive behavior is divided into two kinds: material and non-material; material support is divided into financial and service support , and non-material support is divided into emotional and cognitive support.
