Spearman correlation was applied to find the strength of the relationship between the study variables. It was found that the relationship between self-concept and reading comprehension scale (Spearman's rho=.65, Sig. =.01), and that of self-esteem and reading comprehension score (Spearman's rho=.35, Sig. =.01) was significant while the relationship between self-efficacy and reading comprehension score was not (Spearman's rho=.06, Sig. =.53).
