CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING
A. The Description of Data
As mentioned in the research methodology, to get the data, the researcher distributed
questionnaire for assessing students’ anxiety level and descriptive reading comprehension test to
measure students’ reading comprehension. The researcher used the quantitative research by the correlational method. Therefore,
calculations of statistic were neceserry. The table can be seen as follow:
Table 4.1 Students’ anxiety
From the table above shows that 46 students have high anxiety level, 5 students have medium anxiety level, and 3 students
have low anxiety level. From the scores that were collected above, the
researcher needed to know the statistical score. To find out mean, The Score of

median, mode, maximum score, minimum score, and standard deviation of score the researcher used SPSS. The finding can be
described such as bellow:

From the calculation of SPSS, the average of anxiety level is 96.37. The median is 98 and the mode is 98. The highest anxiety
level is 125 while the lowest level is 64. The standard deviation is 14.740 with variance 217.558.
Based on the result statistic above, the average of anxiety level is 96.37. It means that the most of students have high anxiety
level.

KKM
The table above shows that 2 students have high reading comprehension score, 8 students have medium reading
comprehension score, and 44 students have below KKM score. In addition, the researcher counted the statistical score using SPSS,
such as bellow:

From the statistic table, the average of reading comprehension score is 54.17. The median is 55 and the mode is
45. The highest score of reading comprehension is 95 while the lowest score is 20. The standard deviation is 14.594 with variance
212.972. Based on the result statistic above, the average of reading
comprehension test is 54.17. It means that the most students’ score of reading commprehension was in below minimum comptence
criteria KKM.
B. The Analysis of Data
The researcher used SPSS 22 to know whether or not there is correlation betwee
n students’ anxiety and their achievement in reading comprehension. The result of the data can be seen in the
following table:
