Abstract


Background:Juvenile delinquency is increasingly worrisome, especially for parents. Because juvenile delinquency is increasingly common in various environments. This is very worrying because delinquency is often also carried out in the school environment. Some examples of juvenile delinquency such as causing physical victims, causing material victims, social losses and fighting status. To overcome juvenile delinquency, self-efficacy is needed to be able to behave adaptively and not enter the juvenile delinquency environment. Purpose:The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and juvenile delinquency. Method:The design of this study is a quantitative correlation study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study is 103 adolescents using cluster random sampling techniques, the research instruments used are self-efficacy questionnaires and juvenile delinquency questionnaires that have been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis uses a spearment rank test. Independent Self Efficacy variable and Juvenile Delinquency dependent variable.Results : The results showed that the Self Efficay of adolescents in the High category was 56.3% and did not commit juvenile delinquency 68.0%. The results of the spearment rank test with a significance value of p-value 0.000 < 0.05, which means that there is a relationship between Self Efficacy and Adolescent Delinquency in Madrasah Aliyah Al Hidayah with a very strong correlation coefficient of 0.826.Conclusion :The implication of the importance of high self-efficacy can reduce the impact of juvenile delinquency because if self-efficacy in adolescents is high, it means that adolescents have good self-efficacy and can control their every action. This can make juvenile delinquency small if the self-efficacy is high.
