To determine the possible effects of gender on learning style - field dependent and field independent - this research study was conducted. This research is an Expo Facto design one. Two hundred subjects were selected voluntarily. They were selected from five different English Language schools in Qom. They were supposed to be from post intermediate level. So the researcher decided to choose male and female learners in post intermediate level in each institute. He selected four classes in each English language school, which are included 10 post-intermediate male and female students. Supervisors of each institute homogenized them. They were divided into two groups, male and female that both of them were experimental groups. There were no control groups. There was no treatment only their academic English book that is taught by their own teacher during the semester. At first, they should fill background questionnaires. After performing PET tests as General English proficiency test, they were supposed to answer the GEFT -- Group Embedded Figure Test. This test is authorized to determine the students' dependency and independency to the field. The treatment was students' academic English book. Subjects were expected to study and cover the book completely according to a special procedure, which was suggested by Dr. Maghsoudi in 2013. Finally, they were supposed to answer Big Five Inventory tests. According to Dr. Maghsoudi, those students who received marks too close to mean (1 SD) were discarded from groups because they cannot be regarded as filed dependent or independent. So researcher tried to analyze one standard deviation above and below in bell shaped distribution. It means he discarded those students who were around mean actually in 68% area. After statistical analysis, research's hypothesis was supported by 95% of confidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
