The Role of Psychological Factors in the Process of Reading

Abstract

Among the reader factors, psychological factors play crucial part in the process of reading. In an educational system, psychological factors that have been widely acknowledged by researchers can be viewed as an important element in assessing students’ academic failure (Lee and Shute, 2010; Zins et al., 2004). Moreover, previous researches indicated that psychological factors have definite influence on the process of reading. Therefore, considering these factors in teaching curriculum could be profitable to the students. The present study focused on the importance of the psychological factors in the process of reading, and revealed the potential for future studies on these factors.
