Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the profiles of undergraduate students at the English Language Education Study Program of Yogyakarta State University. One hundred and one (101) students participated in this survey research. The data were collected through a reading attitude survey adapted from McKenna’s survey. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) were the main data analyses. Results from CFA confirmed that the 25 items from the survey converged into 6 factors: attitude in academic reading in print, attitude in academic reading online, attitude in academic reading in social media, attitude in recreational reading in print, attitude in recreational reading online, and attitude in recreational reading in social media reading. Then, a 2-profile solution from LPA led to a conclusion that the students can be divided into two groups, i.e. students with positive attitude towards reading in one group and students with less positive attitude towards reading in the other group.

Keywords: reading attitude, latent profile analysis, reading mode
