Abstract
Since studies in different fields have become interdisciplinary increasingly, individual and gender identity subjects can be applied to other areas of humanities research, one of which is text perception. To examine and analyze the effect of gender Identity on text perception, we chose a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which received social feedbacks and feedbacks from critics of gender theory, and was considered from the perspective of critical discourse analysis a feminist text. This story was shared with some female and male students and they were asked to express their understanding, then a comprehensive questionnaire of personality traits was provided to this statistical society and the score of each person was obtained using SPSS software. Then, the resulted scores of each person were measured by his/her perception and analysis and of the text, and based on the final results it turned out that there is a direct and significant relation between personality identity questionnaire (positive masculinity and positive femininity) and female writing perception, which was the purpose of this study. Therefore, we can conclude that students' awareness of their personality identity and gender stereotypes can be influential in the process of text understanding, text linguistic characteristics recognition, the author's style of writing, and ultimately translation.
