Abstract

This study investigated the correlation among reading attitude, reading interest, and reading achievement of the eleventh-grade students at SMA N 21 Palembang. The primary objective was to determine whet her students’ psychological factors, specifically their attitudes and interests, significantly relate to their academic performance in reading English texts. A quantitative method with a correlational design was employed to achieve this goal. The population consisted of all eleventh graders at SMA N 21 Palembang, from which a sample of 105 students was selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using two standardized questionnaires: the Adult Survey of Reading Attitude (ASRA) to measure reading attitude and a specialized reading interest questionnaire, alongside a validated multiple-choice reading test to assess reading achievement. Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis revealed no significant correlation between reading attitude and reading achievement (r = .028; p = .780), suggesting that a student's attitude alone does not dictate their reading success. However, a significant positive correlation with low to moderate strength was found between reading interest and reading achievement (r = .377; p = .000). Furthermore, multiple regression analysis indicated a significant simultaneous correlation between reading attitude and reading interest toward reading achievement (R = .378; p = .000), with a combined contribution of 14.3% to the variance in reading achievement. The findings suggest that reading interest plays a more substantial role than reading attitude in influencing students' academic performance. Therefore, educators are encouraged to focus on building student interest to improve literacy outcomes. Keywords: reading attitude, reading interest, reading achievement, eleventh- grade students
