Abstract
This study aims to look at the effect of religiosity and the use of online media on the youths’ prosocial behavior in Aceh. This study involved 12 state secondary schools in the province of Aceh by using a non-proportionate sampling technique of 402 students’ participants. Research data were collected using three scales, (1) religiosity using SPPIM-R from Azma (2006), (2) using online media, and (3) prosocial behavior using PTM-R from Carlo (2011). Data were analyzed by using multiple regression analysis and t-test. The results of this study showed a significant positive relationship between religiosity (r = .556; p <.00) and social media (r = .361; p <.00) with student prosocial behavior. It also demonstrates a significant influence between the main variables and student demographics on prosocial behavior (R2 = 0.528; p <0.00). The conclusion of the study shows that the variable of religiosity and the use of online media can influence prosocial behavior variables (52.8%). Respondents of this study developed the average-level of religiosity, whereas women were more religious using other languages. While the average level of prosocial online media use is medium, the female student group is the more frequent users of online media compared to their male counterparts. However, respondents in this study had an averagely medium level of prosocial behavior too, the male student group was more prosocial compared to the female students.
