Self-Confidence in Theater Acting: The Role of Self-Concept in Campus Theater

Abstract

Self-confidence is a crucial factor for theater actors to perform well on stage. This study aims to analyze the influence of self-concept on the self-confidence of actors. The study specifically focuses on actors from the Campus Theater Institute of the Faculty of Arts and Design, Makassar State University (Terkam FSD UNM) who have experience as actors. It is hypothesized that a positive self-concept will enhance self-confidence and reduce anxiety or worry, allowing actors to perform to their full potential. This research employs a descriptive correlational design to investigate the relationship between two or more variables. Data collection utilizes questionnaires, and data analysis is conducted using quantitative or statistical methods to test the established hypotheses. The study involves 27 participants, using total sampling as the sampling technique. The findings of the study on "Self-Confidence in Theater Performance: The Role of Self-Concept in Actors at the Campus Theater Institute" reveal a correlation coefficient of 0.639 and a significance level (p) of 0.000, indicating a significant positive correlation between self-concept and self-confidence among TERKAM FSD UNM members who have experience as actors. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 41% suggests that 41% of the positive and significant relationship between self-concept and self-confidence can be attributed to self-concept, while the remaining 59% is influenced by other factors.
