In psychological discourse, subjects located in social act context use language as a tool for understanding their contextual phenomena. Indeed, based on interaction of language and context, individual’s discourse practices are established in social context, and because of this interaction, the discourse is strengthened or weakened. Despite the fact that total nationalism-secularism discourse of Pahlavi the Second is in hegemony social context, actors of lingual single speech indicate its inconsistent orientations toward dominant speech. Though this lingual part is hidden, but it opens critical mindfulness of actors of this period toward dominant political phenomena. On the basis of this, each of the actors of Pahlavi the Second, by accepting dominant principles of discourse established on total monarchy is affected by different approaches of its psychology rooted in their contextual contexts and has different perception of established identity of Pahlavi the Second.

According to the result of the current paper, Alam and Hoveida as two typical actors of Pahlavi Era, despite their official comments based on total monarchy of Pahlavi, but among their informal correspondence, their mindset inconsistency is apparent with Pahlavi power structure.
