Abstract

This study measured reading activities and reading efficacy of each age group and investigated the main influences and interrelationships among variables on reading attitudes. The survey was conducted at middle and high schools, universities, and nearby public libraries of all age groups, and analyzing 117 responses. The results showed that higher reading efficacy positively influenced reading attitudes, with adolescents and 20s reporting higher reading efficacy than 30s and 40s. Analysis of weekly reading volume revealed that those who reported no reading per week had the lowest reading efficacy. In terms of reading attitudes, it was found that groups with less reading time had lower reading attitudes overall, and that reading more books and longer periods of time was associated with a more positive reading attitude.
