The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and reading
comprehension. This research uses correlational research with a quantitative design. The sample was 30
class E2 students at SMAN 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur. Data collection was carried out using two
instruments: (1) a self-efficacy questionnaire which was used to measure students' reading self-efficacy
and (2) a reading comprehension test which was used to determine students' reading comprehension. The
correlation of the two variables is calculated using Pearson Product Moment in SPSS 15. The results
show that the correlation coefficient has a value between 0.20 and 0.40, then the two variables have a
low level of correlation. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected and it can be stated that
there is no significant correlation between Self Efficacy and Reading Comprehension Ability of the tenth
grade students' SMA N 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur. The coefficient of determination is 0.0723, indicating
that the self efficacy has a 7.23% influence on students' reading comprehension ability, while the
remaining 93% is caused by other factors.
