    Abstract
    Sugar dating is a social phenomenon in which most sugar babies seek out sugar relationships to relieve financial stress. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between financial anxiety and acceptance of sugar dating among students at pedagogical universities. The study aims to improve understanding of the sugar dating phenomenon in the educational environment in Vietnam. Our study used the Acceptance of Sugar Relationships in Young Women and Men Scale (ASR-YWMS) and the Financial Anxiety Scale (FAS) to test correlation on students. An online survey was used, with participation by 402 university students in Vietnam. The findings of our study show that acceptance of sugar dating among students is influenced by whether or not they have part-time jobs. Students without a part-time job have a greater acceptance of sugar dating than students with a part-time job. The results confirm that student acceptance of sugar dating is positively connected with financial anxiety.
