Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of peer attachment on the self-efficacy of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Tasikmalaya. Peer attachment refers to an individual's emotional bond with peers, while self-efficacy is the students' belief in their ability to face various challenges. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The research population consists of all seventh-grade students from classes A to K at SMP Negeri 12 Tasikmalaya, totaling 373 students. The sampling technique used is probability sampling, specifically simple random sampling, with a sample size of 310 students. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis with the assistance of the SPSS version 22 for Windows program. The results of the study indicate that: (1) in general, students' peer attachment is in the low category at 46.45%, which means that most students have a low attachment to their peers; (2) students' self-efficacy is also in the low category at 64.19%, indicating a still low level of self-confidence in facing challenges; and (3) the correlation analysis results show a coefficient value of 0.168 with an influence contribution of 2.8%. This indicates a very weak positive relationship between peer attachment and self-efficacy of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Tasikmalaya.
