In the Master's thesis, we present the relationship between the decision to engage in promiscuous relationships and the impact on the mental health of Millennials, focusing on the feeling of anxiety. The development of technology is influencing Generation Y, and it provides many opportunities for young adults to socialize today. With the aspect of promiscuous relationships as well as the change in individual values in the generation, there are changes in partner relationships, desires, expectations, and the search for an even more suitable partner. Through phenomenological research among 11 participants who were members of the younger Millennial generation, we raised the possibility that individual promiscuous relationships can cause anxiety. The research also presented the system of affirmation in young people based on the compensation of negative emotions through self-affirmation, which is one of the more exposed motivations for participating in these relationships.
Thus, the research confirms the possibility of correlation of anxiety in Generation Y and participation in promiscuous relationships. Despite the changes and influences, Millennials strive for security in partnerships.
