Abstract

Background and Objective: Manifestation and the law of attraction are new age practices. Different age groups view and practice these differently since their beliefs are influenced by their peers, families, cultures, traditions, and technology. This study compares the perceptions, interpretations, and interactions of Generation Z and Millennials in order to better understand the intricacies of the manifestation phenomenon.

Methods: It was a cross-sectional survey conducted at a private medical college in Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 266 subjects were divided into two groups according to their ages, i.e., Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) and Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) generation. Data were collected using a survey proforma created on Google Forms and statistical analysis was done using relevant tests of significance.

Results: Generation Z had better knowledge (p = 0.045) of the concept of manifestation and how it works. Both generations believe that practicing intentional manifestation and trusting your positive beliefs can help in achieving goals (p-value = 0.811). Both generations are somewhat affected by cultural and spiritual beliefs and technology, including social media; however, the difference in the influence between the generations (p = 0.427 and p = 0.698) is not significant.

Conclusion: The study underscores the influence of generational experiences and cultural context on the adoption and interpretation of
new age practices with respect to the manifestation phenomenon.

Keywords: Millennial, generation Z, popular culture, digital technology, manifestation, law of attraction.
