Efikasi Diri Tokoh Sawamura Eijun dalam Komik Daiya no Ace Karya Yuji Terajima

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of self-efficacy exhibited by the character Sawamura Eijun in the manga Daiya no Ace by Yuji Terajima, as well as the factors influencing the development of his self-efficacy. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using note-taking and library research techniques. The primary data consist of excerpts from the manga Daiya no Ace, while the secondary data are obtained from relevant references, particularly Albert Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy. The findings indicate that Eijun demonstrates a high level of self-efficacy, as reflected in his willingness to take on challenges, confidence in his own abilities, resilience under pressure, persistence in the face of failure, courage to try new things, ability to recover from setbacks, and strong commitment to achieving his goals. This self-efficacy is shaped by four main factors: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and emotional states.Thus, the development of Eijun’s self-efficacy illustrates that belief in one’s abilities is not only formed through personal experience but also influenced by social support, observation of others, and the ability to regulate emotions when facing challenges.
