the correlation between students’ habit in playing video games and their vocabulary
mastery, the writer used Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula. In calculating the normality of the data, the writer used Kolmogorov-Smirnov in SPSS
24 program. The result of the analysis shows that the data of the two variables have
normal distribution. The result of normality of the data distribution of X variable is
0.165 and it is bigger than 0.05 and the result of normality of the data distribution
of Y variable is 0.57 and it is bigger than 0.05. In calculating the linearity of the
data, the writer used SPSS 24 program. In the linearity test, the result of significance is 0.694 and it is bigger than 0.05. The result of the correlation between students’ habit in playing video games and their vocabulary mastery (rxy) is 0.730 and it is bigger than the rtable (rt) = 0.297. As rxy>rxt, it can be said that Ho is rejected, and Hi accepted.
Therefore, there is a significant relationship between the students’ habit in playing video games and their vocabulary mastery of eleventh-grade students of Taman Harapan Vocational School.
