Although relevant in the international literature, there are few studies on economic psychology conducted in Brazil. The objective of this study is to explore this gap and present evidence to help understand the consumer decision processes regarding the choice of higher education services. The field research is based on situations and sceneries that were built after a review of the heuristics literature. Data collection was divided in two periods and conducted among college students and higher education professionals. The results indicate presence of heuristics in the situations and sceneries investigated. The difficulty to make use of an empirically reliable instrument to measure the influence of heuristics on consumer decision processes suggest that further studies should be conducted, in Brazil, in different contexts, to confirm the results described in this study.
