Analisis Teknik Modeling Dalam Layanan Bimbingan Kelompok Untuk Meningkatkan Self Esteem Pada Mahasiswa

This study aims to examine the use of modeling techniques in group counseling services as an effort to enhance self-esteem among university students. Using a qualitative approach through library research, this study reviews scholarly literature including journals, books, and theses related to self-esteem, modeling, and group guidance. Self-esteem plays a vital role in shaping students’ psychological well-being, influencing their confidence, academic performance, and social relationships. Modeling is a technique where individuals learn through observation and imitation of behaviors demonstrated by role models. In a group counseling setting, modeling offers real-life examples of positive behavior that participants can reflect upon and practice. The literature indicates that both single and multiple modeling approaches can significantly improve students' self-perception, self-regulation, and adaptive behavior. These processes help internalize a stronger sense of competence and self-worth. In addition, the group setting creates a supportive environment that fosters mutual learning, empathy, and emotional resilience. The findings suggest that incorporating modeling into group counseling is a promising strategy for promoting self-esteem among students.
