Abstract :

The aim of this study was to explain the consequences of young tendency to have multiple relationships with the opposite sex. To understand the experience of the participants, this research was conducted using a qualitative method of contextual theory. The statistical population was single girls and boys aged 25 to 35 years old living in Tehran in 1396, from which 24 people (13 girls and 11 boys) were selected by purposive sampling method until information saturation. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to collect data and data analysis was performed by Colaizzi method (open coding, axial coding, selective coding). The research findings indicate that the most important consequences of multiple relationships with the opposite sex from the perspective of people involved in such relationships are: positive function, instability and ambiguity in the main relationship in the future, reduced interpersonal function, High-risk marriages, emotional and physical injuries, and physical injuries. According to the present study, the consequences of such relationships can be concluded that the multiplicity of relationships causes a lot of internal and interpersonal damage that ultimately leads to family inefficiency and poor quality of communication in the family.
