ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of undergraduate music majors` self-efficacy on their confidence in performance, and to determine the relationships between the two. The subjects were selected from the first-year through fourth-year students majoring in keyboard, voice and orchestra in A and B women`s universities. The questionnaire consisted of 3 domains, that is, general characteristics, a background variable; self-efficacy, an independent variable; and confidence in performance, a dependent variable. The following results were obtained from this study. First, as for self-efficacy by the general characteristics, all of grade, major, and major experience showed no significant differences. Second, as for confidence in performance by the general characteristics, only major experience showed a significant difference. Third, self-efficacy and confidence in performance showed a positive (+) correlation; and thus it was found that the higher the self-efficacy, the higher the confidence in performance. In addition, the sub-domains of general self-efficacy and social self-efficacy had significant effects on the sub-domains of confidence in performance.
