Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), 2012 [United States]

This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey administered as a supplement to the July 2012 basic CPS questionnaire. The supplement, on the topic of public participation in the arts in the United States, was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. The CPS, administered monthly, collects labor force data about the civilian noninstitutional population aged 15 years old or older living in the United States. Moreover, 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, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. The basic CPS data are provided on labor force activity for the week prior to the survey. In addition, CPS provides respondents' demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, educational attainment, family relationship, 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. Interviews were conducted during the period of July 15-21, 2012. The supplement contained questions about the sampled member's participation in various artistic activities from July 1, 2011 through July 1, 2012. If the selected person had a spouse or partner, then the respondent answered questions on behalf of their spouse/partner. Therefore, the spouse/partner responses are proxies. If a respondent was answering for themselves and on behalf of their spouse or partner, the respondent and spouse/partner questions followed the same path through the instrument. Spouse/partner questions were asked on core participation (Core 1 or Core 2), leisure activities (Module D), and the first four questions of Module A. The total sample size of the 2012 SPPA was 35,735 American adults, ages 18 and over. The 2012 SPPA included two core components: a questionnaire used in previous years to ask about arts attendance; and a new, experimental module on arts attendance. In addition, the survey included five modules designed to capture other types of arts participation as well as participation in other leisure activities. Respondents were randomly assigned to either of the survey's core questionnaires, and then were randomly assigned to two of the remaining five SPPA modules. Questions were asked about the type of artistic activity, the frequency of participation, training and exposure, musical and artistic preferences, school-age socialization, and computer and device usage related to artistic information. The topics were separated into the five modules (each module was administered to only a portion of the sampled cases): Module A: Other Attendance and Music Preferences (reading, film, or sporting event attendance; other live performances; and music listening preferences) Module B: Accessing Art through Media (using media for participation in artistic events and frequency of participation in past year) Module C: Creating Arts through Media (participation in certain types of other leisure or artistic activities, public artistic performances, and using media to share activities in past year) Module D: Creating, Performing, and Other Activities (sport activities, other art activities, and musical performance activities in past year) Module E: Arts Learning (art related lessons or classes, respondent age during lessons/classes, location of lessons/classes, respondents' parents' education, and the participation of the respondents' school age children)

本数据集由两组调查问卷的回答组成，包括基本的当前人口调查（CPS）以及对2012年7月基本CPS问卷的补充调查。该补充调查主题为美国公众在艺术领域的参与情况，由国家艺术基金会赞助。当前人口调查（CPS）每月进行一次，收集关于居住在美国的15岁及以上非机构化平民劳动力数据。此外，CPS还提供了该人口的经济状况和活动情况的最新估计，包括总就业人数（包括农业和非农业）、非农业自营职业者、家庭佣人和非农业家庭企业的无偿帮工、工资和薪金雇员以及总失业人数的估计。基本CPS数据提供了调查前一周的劳动力活动情况。此外，CPS还提供了受访者的人口统计特征，如年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、教育程度、家庭关系、职业和行业。除基本CPS问题外，调查员还向从约一半的样本CPS家庭中随机选择的18岁或以上两位家庭成员进行了关于公众参与艺术活动的补充问题。访谈于2012年7月15日至21日进行。补充调查包含关于样本成员从2011年7月1日至2012年7月1日参与各种艺术活动的问题。如果被选中的个人有配偶或伴侣，则受访者代表配偶/伴侣回答问题。因此，配偶/伴侣的回答是代理回答。如果受访者代表自己和配偶/伴侣回答，则受访者和配偶/伴侣的问题遵循相同的问卷路径。核心参与（核心1或核心2）、休闲活动（模块D）以及模块A的前四个问题都询问了配偶/伴侣问题。2012年SPPA的总样本量为35,735名美国成年人，年龄在18岁以上。2012年SPPA包括两个核心组成部分：用于询问关于艺术出席情况的往年问卷；以及一个关于艺术出席情况的新实验模块。此外，调查还包括五个模块，旨在捕捉其他类型的艺术参与以及其他休闲活动的参与。受访者被随机分配到调查的核心问卷之一，然后被随机分配到剩余的五个SPPA模块中的两个。问题涉及艺术活动的类型、参与频率、培训与接触、音乐和艺术偏好、学龄社交以及与艺术信息相关的计算机和设备使用。主题被分为五个模块（每个模块只对样本中的一小部分案例进行管理）：模块A：其他出席和音乐偏好（阅读、电影或体育赛事出席；其他现场表演；以及音乐收听偏好）；模块B：通过媒体接触艺术（使用媒体参与艺术事件以及过去一年参与频率）；模块C：通过媒体创作艺术（参与某些类型的其他休闲或艺术活动、公共艺术表演以及过去一年使用媒体分享活动）；模块D：创作、表演和其他活动（过去一年的体育活动、其他艺术活动和音乐表演活动）；模块E：艺术学习（与艺术相关的课程或课程、受访者上课时的年龄、课程/课程的地点、受访者的父母教育程度以及受访者学龄儿童的参与情况）。
