<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low level of self-confidence among junior high school students, characterized by a lack of courage in expressing opinions, withdrawal from social environments, and low confidence in personal abilities. This study aimed to analyze self-confidence and father involvement and to examine the effect of father involvement on self-confidence among students at SMP Negeri 8 Banjarmasin. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 267 students selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected via questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, and subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS version 31. The analysis revealed that the majority of students displayed a moderate level of self-confidence (78.3%) and a moderate level of father involvement (72.7%). The results of the regression test indicated that father involvement significantly influenced students’ self-confidence, with a p-value of 0.002 and a contribution of 3.7% (R Square = 0.037). The positive association suggested that higher levels of father involvement were linked to greater student self-confidence. Therefore, while father involvement plays a role in developing students’ self-confidence, its overall impact remains relatively modest. _____________________________________________________________Penelitian ini berangkat dari permasalahan rendahnya tingkat kepercayaan diri siswa SMP yang ditandai dengan kurang berani mengemukakan pendapat, menarik diri dari lingkungan sosial, dan kurang yakin terhadap kemampuan diri.
