The purpose of this study was to conduct an experiment to evaluate the concluding sentences of university students by improving the experimental materials and analysis methods. The method was designed to solve the three problems of material sentences, conclusion sentences, and evaluating methods. As a result of this study, four new types of reading comprehension were found, reflecting the results of evaluating appropriate and inappropriate sentences, different qualities of reading for morally biased sentences, and the relationship between material and conclusion sentences. Critical thinking attitude and reader's beliefs were not predictive factors in discriminating each type. The results suggest that it is necessary to consider the process of deriving conclusions and to examine reading comprehension tendencies from multiple perspectives when evaluating the conclusions of sentences.
