Abstract

Conformity is a form of behavior that may affect someone’s action to correspond to what their social environment desires. Meanwhile self-confidence is the belief in oneself to think, act, and make decisions. Conformity may affect self-confidence in that conformity is expected in a friend circle. This research aims to understand the correlation between conformity and self-confidence in late adolescents in Jakarta. The choice of adolescents as participants of this research is based on the fact that they are still in the phase of discovering their identity and in an unstable condition. This research recruits 112 adolescents in Jabodetabek and there are only 82 participants who met the criteria of this research. A correlational research design is used to discover the correlation between conformity and self-confidence. By using Pearson’s correlation test, it is found that there is a negative correlation between variables (r = -104; p > 0.01). This indicates that there is no significant correlation between conformity and self-confidence.
