Abstract

Self-confidence has gained growing prominence as one of the influential factors influencing academic performance. The study about self-confidence and motivation using the data from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) test was rarely reported. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-confidence and motivation among medical students. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Azhar Islamic University, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. A total of 241 medical students participated in this study. The dependent variable was motivation. The independent variable was self-confidence. The data of motivation and self-confidence were obtained using the MMPI-2 test. The statistical analysis used Chi-square. Out of 241 medical students, 206 (85.48%) students had the good motivation and 35 (14.52%) had low motivation. 205 (85.06%) students had good self-confidence and 36 (14.94%) had low self-confidence. The results showed that motivation was associated with self-confidence (p= 0.001). The motivation is linked to the self-confidence among medical students at Al-Azhar Islamic University, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara.
