The population of this study were 191 students at eighth grade of SMP N 6 Purworejo in the academic year 2015/2016. By using purposive sampling, the researcher took two classes as the samples of this study.

In addition, the result of t-value is 6.774. Then, the researcher consults the critical value on the t-table using 5% (0.05) alpha significance and the degree of freedom is 2.000. The Sig (2-tailed) is 0.00 and the significance level is 0.05. It means that Sig (2-tailed) <0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted.
