Abstract

This study is supported by Bandura's self-efficacy theory and Webster's music creation thinking model, combined with empirical research on music education at home and abroad and open source academic achievements, to explore the psychological enhancement mechanism of popular music creation process on music learners' self-efficacy. Based on the relevant achievements of music creation psychology, the study divides popular music creation into five core stages: Material Collection Stage, Incubation Stage, Structuring Stage, Revising Stage, and Presenting Stage. The study systematically analyzes the dynamic effects of each stage on the activation, strengthening, and consolidation of learners' self-efficacy through four pathways: mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological and affective states. Empirical research shows that immediate feedback, visualization of results, and successful practical experience in creation are key elements in cultivating learners' belief in creative competence. The self-efficacy enhancement pathways for learners at different stages show a staged shift from external feedback dependence to internal self-evaluation dominance. This study clarifies the intrinsic relationship between the two, providing a theoretical basis and practical reference for integrating popular music creation practice into music education, optimizing learners' psychological enhancement approaches, and improving the effectiveness of music teaching practice.
