Psychosocial development that is not fully mature can impact the learning responsibility of school-aged children. This study aims to analyze the influence of psychosocial development on the learning responsibility of school-aged children. Data was collected using the cluster random sampling technique. The research sample consisted of 172 fifth and sixth-grade students from one school in Bekasi city and two schools in Bekasi Regency. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The instrument used to measure psychosocial development consisted of 19 items based on the dimensions of industry and inferiority. The instrument used to assess learning responsibility consisted of 22 items based on the dimensions of learning responsibility during the course and learning responsibility outside the course. The collected data was processed and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically simple linear regression tests. The results of the study showed that psychosocial development positively influences learning responsibility. The determination coefficient obtained was 0.496%, meaning that psychosocial development affects learning responsibility by 49.6%, while the remaining 50.1% is influenced by other factors. Therefore, it is essential for involved parties to be aware of children's psychosocial development to enhance their learning responsibility.
