This study aimed to explore the impact of sports on students’ social responsibility behavior. Eighteen (18) students aged 13-16 years from Government High School Kangra, Haripur, participated in this study. The design of the study was experimental, randomized, pre/post-intervention. The subjects of this study participated in a 12-week (4-days a week) intervention. Prior to intervention, a pre-test was conducted to measure social responsibility behavior using the Spanish validation of the personal and social responsibility questionnaire and personal and social responsibility and attitude towards sports amongst athletes’ questionnaires. The participants underwent an intervention consisting of two sessions: an interactive lecture session and an on-field session of volleyball, 4 days a week for 12 weeks. At the end of this intervention same questionnaire was used to measure the personal and social responsibility behavior of the students who participated in the intervention. Data was analyzed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical tools using SPSS. Results revealed that the three-month volleyball game intervention had a notable impact on social behavior among the participants. The results emphasize the effectiveness of the intervention in inducing significant changes in the observed behavioral aspects. There is no significant influence of the selected demographic factors (age, grade levels, sports, and family dynamics/family influence, family context, and residency) on students’ social responsibility behavior.
