Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), United States, 2017

The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) 2017 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 2017. 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 2017 SPPA included two core components: a questionnaire used in previous years to ask about arts attendance and literary reading, and a newer survey about arts attendance, venues visited, and motivations for attending art events. In addition, the SPPA supplement included five modules designed to capture other types of arts participation as well as participation in other leisure activities. Questions included items on the frequency of participation, types of artistic activities, training and exposure, musical and artistic preferences, school-age socialization, and computer and device usage related to the arts. The five modules were separated by topic: Module A: Consuming Art via Electronic Media Module B: Performing Art Module C: Creating Visual Art and Writing Module D: Other Leisure Activities Module E: Arts Education, and Arts Access and Opportunity Respondents were randomly assigned to either of the core questionnaires and were then randomly assigned to two of the five additional modules so that each module was administered to a portion of the sampled cases.

《2017年公众参与艺术调查》（SPPA）数据集汇集了来自两组调查问卷的回复，包括当前人口调查（CPS）以及2017年7月进行的CPS补充调查。该补充调查针对美国公众参与艺术的问题进行了询问，并由国家艺术基金会赞助。当前人口调查由美国人口普查局每月进行，收集了15岁及以上、居住在美国的民用非机构化人口劳动力数据。CPS提供了关于该人口经济状况和活动的最新估计，包括总就业（包括农业和非农业）、非农业自营职业者、家庭佣工、非农业家庭企业的无偿帮工、工资和薪金员工以及总失业的估计。本数据集中基本CPS项目提供了调查前一周的劳动力活动。此外，CPS还提供了受访者的人口统计学特征，如年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、教育水平、家庭关系、职业和行业。除基本CPS问题外，调查员还对大约一半样本CPS家庭中随机选取的18岁或以上两位家庭成员的公众参与艺术进行了补充提问。补充调查包含关于受访者过去一年参与各种艺术活动的问题。如果被选中的受访者有配偶或伴侣，则受访者将代表配偶/伴侣回答问题，配偶/伴侣的回答作为代理。2017年SPPA包含两个核心组成部分：用于询问艺术出席和文学阅读的往年问卷，以及关于艺术出席、参观场所和参加艺术活动的动机的新调查。此外，SPPA补充调查还包括五个模块，旨在捕捉其他类型的艺术参与以及参与其他休闲活动。问题包括参与频率、艺术活动类型、培训与接触、音乐和艺术偏好、学龄社会化以及与艺术相关的计算机和设备使用等问题。五个模块按照主题划分：模块A：通过电子媒体消费艺术；模块B：表演艺术；模块C：创作视觉艺术和写作；模块D：其他休闲活动；模块E：艺术教育、艺术可及性和机会。受访者被随机分配到任一核心问卷，然后随机分配到五个附加模块中的两个，以确保每个模块都对样本案例的一部分进行了调查。
