The methodology of this study was survey using a questionnaire. Population of this study consisted of all female students at Dezfoul Payme Noor University and 384 persons were selected as the sample size using Lin table. The method of sampling was a multi-stage stratified random sampling. The Results show that the dependent variable (gender identity) and some independent variables are correlated. Multivariate regression analysis showed that three variables including social awareness, social networks, and decision-making power explain a total of 1.22% of the variation in the dependent variable of gender identity. Stepwise regression analysis showed that social awareness, social networks, and decision-making power are the most influential factors on gender identity.
