Abstract

Tweens are children included in an age group that can vary from seven to fourteen years of age. As consumers, they have behavioral quirks and attitudes due to their social and emotional experiences. As they participate in society as consumers they have become increasingly eloquent and active in their consumer relations. Ethnographic inspiration was chosen as an effective research method during four months of fieldwork. The results reveal the use of accessories as important tools for social adjustment since they “play the game” of social life and also to establish and strengthen emotional ties.
