Summary:The results of a two-stage study, in which the socio-psychological portrait of the so-called “Y” generation (born 1982-1999) was studied in terms of ideas about its rationality and pragmatism, is given. The study (N = 80) revealed that the Y generation tends to perceive romantic relationships more rationally than the X generation (Stage II), but at the same time it finds cooperation in interpersonal relationships rather than competition (Stage I). These results generally correspond to the stereotypical image of the Y generation that has developed in public discourse.
