| Abstract: | It is important to enable the students to have the scientific skills and attitudes which are well developed in order that students can be competitive in the global society, however, it appears that many students are lacking these required competences. As such, this research aims to investigate the Science Process Skills (SPS) and Chemistry Attitudes (CA) and analyze the correlation between those two variables. Convenience sampling was executed to select 152 undergraduate chemistry students at the Yogyakarta State University in the academic year 2017/2018. This survey involved quantitative method and correlational design. The data were obtained by using Science Process Skills Observation Checklist (SPSOC) and Attitudes towards Chemistry Scale (ATCS). The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of each instrument was .88 and .84 respectively. The descriptive statistic, T-test, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis were used at significance level .05. Based on the findings, students' SPS and CA were classified low and moderate respectively. There was significant difference between SPS and CA scores based on gender in favor of female students. Additionally, there was significant difference between students' SPS and CA scores based on grade levels in favor of second-year students. According to the result of the correlation and regression analysis also showed a high positive and significant correlation between SPS and CA. It can be concluded that students who have high SPS score tend to have positive attitudes towards chemistry. Implications of the findings on the pedagogical practices have been discussed.
