The objective of this study is to identify a hierarchy of goals that guides the decision of men and women to visit shopping malls. A study was conducted over a qualitative and a quantitative stage, using the Association Pattern Technique and log-linear model. In the qualitative research, 14 consumers who reside in Curitiba-PR were interviewed resulting in 42 narratives and 90 reports of visits to the mall. In the quantitative stage, with electronic data collection, we obtained a sample of 703 valid questionnaires from consumers of 66 Brazilian cities. We found that men and women go to shopping malls with different motivations and therefore have different goal structures. Men have a more utilitarian motivation, and visit malls with specific goals for the accomplishment of some task. Women, on the other hand, go to malls with more hedonic motivations. They value the comfort and pleasure that malls provide.Silvana Taschek HastreiterRenato Zancan MarchettiFUCAPE Business Schoolarticlehierarchy of consumer’s goalshedonic and utilitarian shopping valuesgendershopping mallsBusinessHF5001-6182ENPTBBR: Brazilian Business Review, Vol 13, Iss 1, Pp 92-114 (2016)
