ABSTRACT

Devi Setya Utami. K2209016. CORRELATION BETWEEN EMOTIONAL

SMA N 1 SURAKARTA IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012/2013). Thesis,

Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University Surakarta.

The objectives of this research are to find out the correlation between (1)

students‟ emotional intelligence and reading comprehension; (2) student‟s

vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension; and (3) students‟ emotional

intelligence and vocabulary mastery toward reading comprehension.

This researcher uses descriptive research method, with category of

correlational study. The study was conducted in March to May 2013 at SMA

Negeri 1 Surakarta. The population is all of the first grade regular students of

SMA Negeri 1 Surakarta which consists of ten classes. The total number of the

students was 320 students. The sample was 32 students taken by cluster random

sampling technique. The instruments in collecting the data are questionnaire and

test. The questionnaire is used to collect the data of student‟s emotional

intelligence, while the objective test is used to collect the data of vocabulary

mastery and reading comprehension. The techniques which are used to analyze

the data are Simple Correlation and Multiple Regression Correlation.

The result of the data analysis shows that in the level of significance α =

0.05 (1) there is a positive correlation between students‟ emotional intelligence

and reading comprehension (rx1y= 0.73 and to = 5.91>tt = 1.7); (2) there is a

positive correlation between student‟s vocabulary mastery and reading

comprehension (rx2y= 0.77 and to = 6.53 >tt = 1.7); and (3) there is positive

correlation between students‟ emotional intelligence, vocabulary mastery, and

reading comprehension (Ry12 = 0.923 and Fo = 83.68 > Ft = 3.33).

The result of this research shows that emotional intelligence and

vocabulary mastery are important factors that give contribution to student‟s

reading comprehension. The students‟ emotional intelligence has 53.8%

contribution to the students‟ reading comprehension, and the students‟

vocabulary mastery has 58.7% contribution to the students‟ reading

comprehension. While simultaneously, the students‟ emotional intelligence and

vocabulary mastery have 85.2% contribution to the students‟ reading

comprehension. It means that the increasing of students‟ emotional intelligence

and vocabulary mastery, either separately or simultaneously, will be followed by

the increasing of the students‟ reading comprehension.
