RESUMO
Este estudo tem como objetivo geral investigar como ocorre a experiência de consumo no Second Life. Para isso, utilizou-se um estudo de caso qualitativo. A coleta de dados foi desenvolvida por meio da observação participante, de diálogos inspirados na etnografia e entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise de conteúdo orientou a obtenção dos resultados. Identificou-se que os sentimentos relacionados ao processo de compra são semelhantes com o que é sentido pelos respondentes ao realizarem compras na vida real e, em algumas situações, são até mais prazerosos.

Data collection was developed through participant observation, dialogue inspired by ethnography and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis guided obtaining results.
