Abstract
The article provides the results of the field research based on social and psychological approach aiming a specific target, i.e. the attitude to religion and religious identity of the Ingush students who live in the Republic of Ingushetia and Moscow. In the study took part one hundred respondents of both sexes aged from 18 to 28. The research methods by Yury Sherbatykh and D. Van Camp aiming to quantify the individual / social religious identity were applied The study showed that the statistically valid differences between the Ingush students who live in Moscow and those from the Republic of Ingushetia have not been discovered. At the same time the religious component within the self-identity of the target group remains a very significant if not a dominant issue. The religion of Islam plays a crucial role as the source for moral standards and also functions as behavior regulator. In addition, Islamic framework of mind influences external appearance of an individual such as, for example, observance of the religious clothes standards. Maintaining social relations with the people of their faith is also crucial for Ingush students.
