This study examines the relationship between students ' sense of responsibility and their religiosity. The stated purpose of the study will be aimed at identifying the relationship between religiosity and responsibility of student youth. In particular, the possibility of internal and external religious orientation and influence on the behavior of young people is considered. In turn, it is through scientific and practical research that new imperial results are presented.

As part of this study, a total of 164 students were surveyed using a structured survey. In order to collect digital information, the level of responsibility, internal and external religious orientation of students were considered. As part of the data analysis, they analyzed problems using the Pearson coefficient to determine any possible relationships between the variables under study. In addition, an internal matching scale was evaluated using the Cronbach alpha test to ensure the reliability of measurements.

The internal coherence of the student responsibility scale is assessed as very high, as evidenced by Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.782. The internal (α = 0.812) and external (α = 0.673) scales for measuring religious orientation were respectively. The results of the analysis showed a weak positive correlation between student responsibility and internal (r= 0.428) average and external (r = 0.152) religiosity. The results show a positive correlation between student orientation and religious responsibility. The internal religious orientation shows a somewhat stronger correlation with the tasks of the student than the external orientation. The results of the study indicate the need for further study of this connection in various situations. It should be noted that internal religious beliefs can significantly affect the responsible behavior of students.

The results of the study will allow us to understand the behavior of students in higher educational institutions and develop various youth policy programs.
