The pre-main-sequence variable star YY Ori was observed in 1979 - 1984 photoelectrically in the UBV system. The dependences of U, B magnitudes and (U-B) and (B-V) colors upon V brightness supplemented by the data of other authors are analysed; the following correlations are found: ΔU = (1.08±0.09)ΔV and ΔB = (1.06±0.04)ΔV. A permanent existence of UV and blue excess radiation follows from the location of YY Ori on the (U-B)-(B-V) diagram. The distribution of the photographic brightness of the star based on observations over 233 nights shows a significant asymmetry. It is suggested that the optical variability of YY Ori is caused by flares associated with the accretion from the circumstellar gas envelope and by the existence of a dust envelope (R ≈ 15), which also contains a number of large massive condensations.
