Abstract

Technological advancements are reshaping various social and educational dimensions, significantly influencing Islamic values and religious wisdom—particularly in areas related to mental health and personality within academic behavior. This study aimed to explore how religious wisdom informs students’ attitudes, ethics, and behavioral patterns in academic settings. Using a convenience sampling method, data were collected from 1,010 university students across West Sumatra, West Java, and Gorontalo between 2023 and 2024. A quantitative, exploratory approach was adopted, utilizing descriptive statistics and MANOVA analysis to examine the variables. Findings revealed that a majority of students demonstrated limited awareness and application of Islamic values in language and behavioral ethics. Specifically, 73% exhibited negative social behavior and communication patterns, while only 1.58% recognized the importance of religious wisdom and Islamic values. Furthermore, 4.95% reported self-protection through those values, 5.94% showed awareness of negative social tendencies, and 8.11% expressed willingness to adjust their behavior. MANOVA results indicated that students' perception of religion significantly influenced attitudes and ethical conduct (F = 28.237, p < 0.01). Gender differences were also significant across perception (F = 20.323, p = 0.02), attitude (F = 21.235, p < 0.01), and behavioral ethics (F = 19.356, p < 0.01). These findings underscore the crucial role of religious wisdom as a value that today’s university students must cultivate.
