Self-injury Remaja Ditinjau dari Konsep Dirinya
Abstract: Objective of this
research is to understand the relationship between selfconcept and self-injury
behavior among adolescents. Adolescents with positive selfconcept were able to
maintain their emotion when they received critics. Therefore they would be less
likely to do self-injury. Adolescents with negative self-concept, on the other
hand, were unable to maintain their emotion when they received critics.
Therefore they would be more likely to do self-injury. Eighty eight students
aged 1618 years old participated in this study. In order to measure
adolescent's self concept, the Self-concept Scale was used. Range of the
Self-concept Scale discrimination index was about .367-.643, and the
reliability coefficient was .772. The Self-injury Scale was also used to
measure the dependent variable. Range of the discrimination index of the
Self-injury Scale was about .236- 631, and the reliability coefficient was
.792. The hypothesis examination revealed rxy- -.484, p = .000 (p <.01).
There was negative relationship between self-concept and self-injury behavior.
The effective contribution of the independent variable in predicting the
dependent variable was about 23.4%. It was about 76.6% variables out side this
research would be likely to predict the dependent variable. The self-report
method on describing the self-injury behavior was likely to be the phmary
reason for middle level of the effective contribution. Respondent’s answer
might not be accurate.
