The contribution of self-concept and self-efficacy as predictors of students’ social skills
Abstract
Social skills are a crucial foundation for adolescents to adapt, yet many high school students still exhibit symptoms of social anxiety and withdrawn behavior. This occurs due to a lack of self-understanding and confidence in one’s abilities. This study aims to analyze the contribution of self-concept and self-efficacy as predictors of social skills among students. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a correlational design; a total of 118 students were recruited through saturation sampling. Data analysis in this study was performed using IBM SPSS version 25 through simple and multiple linear regression tests. The results indicate that self-concept and self-efficacy significantly contribute 75% to social skills, meaning these variables strongly influence students’ social skills, while the remaining 25% is influenced by other factors.
