Resumo: Colin Campbell states that the hedonism, in other words, the search for pleasure, is what drives not only consumption desires, but also the interpersonal relationships of modern individuals. On the other hand, Zygmunt Bauman claims that, in consumer society, the individuals’ conduct and relationships are influenced by market values inserted into everyday life activities. This paper presents a survey in which Tinder app users are interviewed in order to verify whether the propositions of both theorists apply to the way users perceive the app and relate to the other people who also use it.Keywords: interpersonal relationships, modern hedonism, consumer society, Tinder.

Já Zygmunt Bauman defende que, na sociedade de consumidores, a conduta e as relações dos indivíduos são influenciadas por valores de mercado inseridos na essência de atividades cotidianas. Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa survey na qual são entrevistados usuários do aplicativo Tinder, a fim de verificar até onde as proposições desses teóricos se aplicam ao modo como os usuários percebem o aplicativo e se relacionam com as outras pessoas que o utilizam.Palavras-chave: relacionamentos interpessoais, hedonismo moderno, sociedade consumidora, Tinder.Verso e Reverso2016-05-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2016.30.75.0310.4013/ver.2016.30.75.03Verso e Reverso; v. 30 n. 75: setembro/dezembro - 2016/3; 186-1951806-6925reponame:Verso e Reverso (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:UNISINOSporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2016.30.75.03/5591Souza, Ana Luiza de Figueiredoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-11-25T16:30:43Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/10626Revistahttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereversoPRIhttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/oaiperiodicos@unisinos.br||bmarocco@unisinos.br1806-69250103-1414opendoar:2016-11-25T16:30:43Verso e Reverso (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
