Abstract
Adolescence is a transitional phase from childhood to adulthood. A lot of changes occur in the adolescence including changes in cognitive, physical and social domains that might trigger various social issues such as aggressive behaviour among peers at school and at home. Low self-esteem is an issue that frequently occurs which influences the psychological domain of adolescents as they are expected to have mature emotional state in taking various decisions. The emotional maturity is formed by the role of parenting and harmonious family relationship. A harmonious family supports adolescents’ creativity that will strengthen their self-concepts. The rate of deviant behaviour among adolescents in Maumere was quite high including smoking, playing truant, juvenile fights, and alcohol consumption that give negative impacts to their life. This research was done to analyze the factors that influence adolescents’ self-concept including age of maturity, self-appearance, peers, family relationship, parent’s behaviour and creativity. This research employed a quantitative method using a cross-sectional approach that involved 372 respondents. The samples of this research were selected using the purposive sampling method. Research data were analyzed using the path analysis which result indicated direct influences of some factors on the adolescents’ selfconcept; family relationship with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, creativity with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, parents’ supports with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, peers with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, self-appearance with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, age of maturity with p value < 0.001 < α = 0.05, and p value between self-concept and behaviour at 0.011. Meanwhile, an indirect influence was found in adolescents’ selfconcept on negative behaviour at 0.009 and on positive behaviour at <0.0001 which rejected H0 and indicating the presence of both direct and indirect influences toward self-concept among adolescents. Family relationship appeared to have the strongest influence on self-concept among adolescents at 1.51. Family relationship, creativity, parent’s supports, peers, age of maturity directly influenced adolescents’ self-concept, while self-concept was found to share indirect influence on both positive and negative behaviors.
