Among the works that we know as folk literature, proverbs are one of the best areas of research on the ideas of native speakers of a language. In fact, these works are parts of the literature of every country that people consider them as the best way to express their common ideas and use them as the expressive language of their psychological states. Thus, contrastive analysis of English and Persian proverbs, focusing on the subject of women, and based on Proverbs and Mottos (Amsalo Hekam) and Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs, would represent the mindset of English and Persian native speakers, especially where the thoughts of Alfred Adler and Eric Berne are the basis. Contamination in the psychology of Berne and Fundamental Error in the psychology of Adler would prepare a background for the present study. Detailed statistical examination of the proverbs based on the mentioned thoughts, would pave the way for finding the status of woman in the proverbs of two languages. Contrastive analysis of the mentioned sources shows that the percentage of Contamination and Fundamental Error is high among the proverbs which were related to women in both languages. But, the frequency of normal proverbs in Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs, is 14.035% more than Proverbs and Mottos (Amsalo Hekam).
