General Social Survey with Arts Module, United States, 2022

Cross-sectional data for the 2022 General Social Survey (GSS), along with an updated cumulative file for 1972-2022, is available at the project's data portal, along with the 2022 GSS Documentation and Public-use File Codebook. The GSS Data Explorer has also been updated. The 2022 GSS provides opinion data at a critical time in U.S. history as we move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to understand changes in post-pandemic society. Sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the 2022 GSS Arts Module was fielded between July 11th and September 21st, 2022, as a web-only follow-on study to the GSS and included questions about changes in individual's recreational activities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Arts Module's final sample size is 843 individuals (from 2,896 eligible GSS baseline respondents). To identify the individuals in the module, use the "NEASTATUS" variable. Additional information about weights for the module is also provided. Access the 2022 GSS Users Guide here. The 2022 GSS Arts Module includes 24 measures of respondents' participation in the arts through attendance at live performances, exhibits, movies, and the like, as well as consuming culture through online galleries, reading, or watching a recorded event. Respondents are asked to report about their participation over the past 12 months and to compare this to what they did from March 2020 to March 2021. The 2022 GSS is the most recent in a series of modules covering similar topics. For example, the 1993 Culture Module included questions on musical preferences, leisure and recreational activities, and attitudes toward art and literature. The 1998 Cultural Module included questions on attendance in arts events, personal engagement in artistic activities, attitudes toward art and literature, and attitudes toward arts funding. The 2002 Cultural Module included questions on musical preferences, attendance at arts events, and personal engagement in artistic activities. In 2002, another module on the "Information Society" included questions on the use of the Internet to obtain information about the arts (e.g., how people use the Web to learn about music, the visual arts, and literature). The 2016 Arts and Culture Module added in new variables covering information regarding social media use, suicide, hope and optimism, arts and culture, racial/ethnic identity, flexibility of work, spouses work and occupation, home cohabitation, and health. About GSS: The General Social Survey (GSS) was launched by National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in 1972 as an annual national research project to monitor Americans' shifting attitudes on social issues. NORC conducted the GSS almost every year until 1994, when it became biennial. NORC has also widened the scope of the GSS over the decades. With every survey round, GSS questions changed to reflect emerging trends such as the COVID-19 pandemic, political polarization, and crime.

2022年美国综合社会调查（GSS）的横断面数据及其1972年至2022年的累积文件已可在项目数据门户获取，同时附有2022年GSS的文档和公共使用文件代码簿。GSS数据探索器亦已更新。2022年GSS在新冠疫情后我们迈向历史新阶段并持续理解后疫情社会变迁的关键时刻，提供了意见数据。由美国国家艺术基金会赞助的2022年GSS艺术模块于2022年7月11日至9月21日进行，作为GSS的在线后续研究，其中包含有关个人在新冠疫情前后休闲活动变化的问题。艺术模块的最终样本量为843人（来自2,896名符合条件的GSS基准受访者）。为了识别模块中的个体，请使用“NEASTATUS”变量。关于模块权重的附加信息也一并提供。2022年GSS用户指南可通过此处访问。2022年GSS艺术模块包括24项衡量受访者通过现场表演、展览、电影等方式参与艺术活动的指标，以及通过在线画廊、阅读或观看录播事件等方式消费文化的指标。受访者被要求报告过去12个月的参与情况，并将其与2020年3月至2021年3月所做之事进行比较。2022年GSS是覆盖类似主题的一系列模块中最新的一个。例如，1993年的文化模块包含有关音乐偏好、休闲和娱乐活动、以及对艺术和文学的看法的问题。1998年的文化模块包含有关艺术活动出席情况、个人在艺术活动中的参与度、以及对艺术和文学的看法，以及艺术资助的看法。2002年的文化模块包含有关音乐偏好、艺术活动出席情况，以及个人在艺术活动中的参与度的问题。2002年，另一个关于“信息社会”的模块包含有关使用互联网获取艺术信息的问题（例如，人们如何通过互联网了解音乐、视觉艺术和文学）。2016年的艺术与文化模块增加了关于社交媒体使用、自杀、希望与乐观、艺术与文化、种族/民族认同、工作灵活性、配偶的工作和职业、家庭同居，以及健康等方面的新变量。关于GSS：综合社会调查（GSS）由全国意见研究中心（NORC）于1972年启动，作为一项年度全国性研究项目，旨在监测美国人在社会问题上的态度变化。NORC几乎每年都进行GSS调查，直到1994年，之后变为每两年一次。在数十年的时间里，NORC也扩大了GSS的研究范围。在每一轮调查中，GSS的问题都会根据新兴趋势进行更新，如新冠疫情、政治极化，以及犯罪问题等。
