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.
