Resumen

La presencia de centros comerciales donde las personas consumen y practican ocios ha aumentado en las últimas décadas. Dada la importancia de los centros comerciales tanto para el consumo como para el ocio y la falta de estudios que expliquen estos comportamientos en nuestro contexto, este estudio describe las actividades realizadas y la experiencia de visitar centros comerciales en Barcelona. Los participantes fueron 411 hombres y 379 mujeres de 16 a 56 años de edad (M = 35,87, SD = 9,74); la información se recopiló con un cuestionario que incluía elementos sobre las actividades, la frecuencia de asistencia y las valoraciones de las visitas al centro comercial. Los resultados ofrecen una caracterización de los usuarios de los centros comerciales de Barcelona (por género, edad, qué hacen allí y cómo los experimentan) y contribuyen a la discusión sobre los centros comerciales como lugares de ocio.
