Is Body Image Contribute on Self-Confidence in the Hijaber Model

Abstract

Models are required to look perfect and confident, and have an attractive physical appearance. Dissatisfaction with appearance causes women to have negative thoughts and feelings in assessing their own bodies. An ideal physical appearance indirectly has an effect on the development of individual self-confidence. This study aims to empirically examine how much influence body image has on self-confidence in hijaber models. This research used quantitative methods. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling technique. The characteristics of the sample taken are active hijaber models in the modeling world, at least 18 years old, and at least 1 (one) year as a hijaber model. Respondents of this study amounted to 136 hijaber models. The measuring instrument in this study uses aspects of self-confidence and body image dimensions. The data analysis technique used is simple linear regression. The results of hypothesis testing showed a significant value of 0.000 (p ≤ 0.01) and obtained an R Square value of 0.212. This shows that the hypothesis is accepted, namely there is a significant influence between body image on self-confidence in hijaber models, where body image has an influence of 21.2% on self-confidence, while the remaining 78.8% is influenced by other factors outside this study.
