Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), United States, 2022

The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) 2022 collection is comprised of responses from two sets of surveys, the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the SPPA supplement to the CPS administered in July 2022. This supplement asked questions about public participation in the arts within the United States, and was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. The CPS, administered monthly by the U.S. Census Bureau, collects labor force data about the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 15 years or older living in the United States. The CPS provides current estimates of the economic status and activities of this population which includes estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. The basic CPS items in this data provide labor force activity for the week prior to the survey. In addition, the CPS provides respondents' demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, educational attainment, family relationships, occupation, and industry. In addition to the basic CPS questions, interviewers asked supplementary questions on public participation in the arts of two randomly selected household members aged 18 or older from about one-half of the sampled CPS households. The supplement contained questions about the respondent's participation in various artistic activities over the last year. If the selected respondent had a spouse or partner, then the respondent answered questions on behalf of their spouse/partner and the spouse/partner responses are proxies. The 2022 SPPA included two core components: Core 1 (C1Q1A-C1Q17A) and Core 2 (C2Q1A-C2Q1R) asked respondents if they attended any artistic events or live performances, and if so, how often and where. Questions were also asked about any books the respondent may have read. In addition, the SPPA supplement included four modules designed to capture other types of arts participation. The four modules were separated by topic: Module A (MAQ1A-MAQ5D) asked respondents if they used electronic devices or electronic media to watch or listen to artistic performances and if so, how often. Questions were also asked about sharing information related to artistic performances. Module B (MBQ1A-MBQ4A) and Module C (MCQ1A-MCQ7) asked if the respondent performed any artistic activities (e.g., singing, dancing, playing instrument, painting, photography, etc), and if so, how often and where. Questions were also asked about participation in certain hobbies such as exercising, sports activities, hunting, gardening, etc., and if so, how often. Module D (MDQ1A-MDQ4H) asked if you've ever taken lessons in music, photography, filmmaking, visual arts, acting, theater, dance, creative writing, art history, art or music appreciation, creative coding, computer animation, or digital art. A follow-up question (MDQ2) is asked about if the classes were taken in school. Another follow-up question (MDQ3) is then 3-2 asked if they have done that activity within the last 12 months. A final follow-up question (MDQ4) is then asked if they learned that activity through other means not involving lessons or classes.

2022年美国公众艺术参与度调查（Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, SPPA）数据集由两组调研的应答数据构成：其一为当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS），其二为2022年7月针对CPS开展的SPPA补充调研。该补充调研由美国国家艺术基金会（National Endowment for the Arts）资助，旨在收集美国国内公众艺术参与度相关数据。当前人口调查（CPS）由美国人口普查局（U.S. Census Bureau）每月开展，面向居住在美国境内的15岁及以上非机构化平民人口收集劳动力相关数据。CPS可提供该群体经济状况与活动的即时估算数据，涵盖总就业量（含农业与非农业就业）、非农业个体经营者、非农业家庭企业无报酬帮手、家政从业人员、工薪雇员的相关估算，以及总失业量估算。本数据集内的基础CPS问题项，用于统计受访前一周的劳动力活动情况。此外，CPS还收集受访者的人口统计学特征数据，包括年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、受教育程度、家庭关系、职业与行业类别。在基础CPS调研问题之外，调研人员还从约半数抽中的CPS受访家庭中，随机选取两名18岁及以上的家庭成员，就公众艺术参与度开展补充提问。该补充调研包含受访者过去一年内参与各类艺术活动的相关问题。若被选中的受访者拥有配偶或伴侣，则可由该受访者代其配偶/伴侣作答，配偶/伴侣的应答将作为代理应答数据。2022年SPPA包含两个核心模块：核心1（C1Q1A-C1Q17A）与核心2（C2Q1A-C2Q1R），用于询问受访者是否参与过艺术活动或现场演出，若参与则进一步了解其参与频率与地点。调研还包含受访者过往阅读书籍相关的问题。此外，SPPA补充调研还设置了四个模块，用于收集其他类型的艺术参与数据。四个模块按主题划分：模块A（MAQ1A-MAQ5D）询问受访者是否使用电子设备或电子媒体观看或收听艺术演出，若使用则了解其使用频率；同时还包含与艺术演出信息分享相关的问题。模块B（MBQ1A-MBQ4A）与模块C（MCQ1A-MCQ7）首先询问受访者是否参与过艺术创作活动（如歌唱、舞蹈、乐器演奏、绘画、摄影等），若参与则了解其创作频率与场景；此外还包含受访者参与特定休闲爱好的相关问题，例如健身、体育运动、狩猎、园艺等，并询问其参与频率。模块D（MDQ1A-MDQ4H）询问受访者是否曾学习过以下课程：音乐、摄影、电影制作、视觉艺术、表演、戏剧、舞蹈、创意写作、艺术史、艺术或音乐鉴赏、创意编程、计算机动画或数字艺术。附带提问MDQ2用于了解此类课程是否为在校学习课程。随后的附带提问MDQ3用于确认受访者是否在过去12个月内开展过该类活动。最后一项附带提问MDQ4用于了解受访者是否通过非课程类的其他途径学习过该类活动技能。
