Abstract. Political participation among university students in Indonesia remains a topic of significant concern, particularly given the large proportion of youth voters in recent elections. Despite their demographic weight, the actual level of political engagement among students is not always proportional. This study aims to describe the level of political participation behavior among students of Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA). A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 437 active UNISBA students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Participatory Behaviors Scale adapted by Bintang et al. (2024) based on Ekman and Amna's (2012) typology (14 valid items; RMSEA=0.000, p=0.833, alpha=0.922). Results indicate that the majority of students (56.98%) were in the moderate category of political participation, with 22.20% in the high category and 20.82% in the low category. These findings suggest that UNISBA students are politically aware but have not yet fully translated that awareness into active and collective political action.
Abstrak. Partisipasi politik mahasiswa di Indonesia menjadi perhatian penting, terutama mengingat besarnya proporsi pemilih muda dalam pemilu terakhir. Meskipun demikian, tingkat keterlibatan aktual mahasiswa dalam aktivitas politik tidak selalu sebanding dengan potensi demografis tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan gambaran tingkat perilaku partisipasi politik pada mahasiswa Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA). Pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif digunakan dengan melibatkan 437 mahasiswa aktif UNISBA yang dipilih melalui proportionate stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan Participatory Behaviors Scale adaptasi Bintang et al. (2024) berdasarkan tipologi Ekman dan Amna (2012) (14 item valid; RMSEA=0,000, p=0,833, alpha=0,922). Hasil menunjukkan sebagian besar mahasiswa 56,98%) berada pada kategori sedang dalam perilaku partisipasi politik, dengan 22,20% pada kategori tinggi dan 20,82% pada kategori rendah. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa mahasiswa UNISBA memiliki kesadaran politik yang cukup, namun belum sepenuhnya menerjemahkannya ke dalam tindakan politik aktif dan kolektif.
