Conceptual Definition

The construct I am interested in and which will be presented in the study is self-confidence. Self-confidence is the self-perception of oneself, ones capabilities, and level of professionalism. It is expressed as a positive assessment of ones skills, abilities, and strengths to achieve meaningful goals. Self-confidence can likewise be defined as a persons correct assessment of skills and abilities to achieve goals or meet the needs.

Research Question

Did self-confidence often arise in the participant during the qualifying round of a reality show?

Operational Definitions

Self-confidence manifests itself differently in each person, but the crucial thing is that only someone who recognizes their flaws and accepts them as part of themselves can admit mistakes. It is necessary to remember that body language is much more eloquent than words. One can make ranting speeches, but if the pose, facial expressions, and gestures express insecurity, the content of these speeches will have no meaning. A successful, confident person takes up as much space as one needs. Insecurity manifests itself primarily in an attempt to shrink, hide, and not draw attention to oneself. Playing with fingers/fingernails, hair rubbing, fidgeting, and other small fidgety movements correspondingly give away a nervous state. A calm and confident person does not avoid eye contact and looks boldly into the other persons eyes. It is one of the oldest codes of communication, which we read as a sign of the sincerity of the speakers intentions and the truth of his words.

Measurement Development: Checklist

Registers the occurrence of the behavior, as well as its frequency.
All behaviors that demonstrate confidence (e.g., eye contact with the jury, expressive and loud speech, open posture) may occur throughout the shows qualifying round.
Behavior is considered complete after the camera focuses on another interaction with at least one person.

Checklist Items (Write them down every time they are encountered)

Calm, direct, no running gaze, direct contact with the jury and the camera

Having a sound voice, not constrained by vocal cord clamps, not squeaky

The tone of voice is appropriate to the situation, not overly loud and insistent, but clear enough to be heard by others

Having relaxed body, no clamps, smooth, even movements, no tension

A confident gaze while answering questions or listening to criticism

Shoulders back, head held high

Speech clarity with slow and clear communication or silence

Unrestrained and confident gestures to convey ones position

Palms open towards the other person

Development of Measurement: Rating Scale

The rating scale for confidence demonstrated in the reality show qualifying round

The number of participants depends on the TV show and episode chosen.
Behavior qualifying as confident will be the same as the behavior qualifying as confident on the checklist above.
Behavior will match the same parameters (reaction conditions and end time) as in the checklist above.

Contestant Observed	No self-confident behavior (0 examples)	Some self- confident behavior (1-5 examples)	Moderate confident behavior (5-10 examples)	High confident behavior (10 or more examples)
Contestant One (Insert Name Here)
Contestant Two (Insert Name Here)
Contestant Three (Insert Name Here)
Contestant Four (Insert Name Here)
Contestant Five (Insert Name Here)

Validity

Ensuring validity is often considered a significant problem associated with a measurement. One cannot validate a size by comparing the scores in that measurement with the same variables scores in another valid measure. However, it is possible to judge validity by the extent to which a given measurement as an indicator of a variable creates the same types of relationships between that variable and other variables that we would expect. Using surface validity, one can prove that the items on the list and scale measure the construct of confidence (ResearchSampleOne, 2022). Face and congruent values will be operated to confirm the validity in order to assess their relationship to other constructs.
