Survey of Public Participation in the Arts 1982-2012 Combined File [United States]

The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts to inform the understanding of how Americans engage in the arts. This combined data file aggregates SPPA data from 1982, 1985, 1992, 2002, 2008, and 2012. The combined data file does not include the 1997 SPPA because the survey design for the 1997 SPPA was quite different from the other six SPPA studies. Respondents were asked a core set of questions about their participation in, and frequency of attending, art performances and events in the following categories: jazz music, classical music, opera, musicals, plays (nonmusical), ballet, other dance, art museums, arts-crafts fairs, and historical park/monument sites. Questions were also asked about their reading preferences. The data file has demographic and geographic variables and information about the housing unit. The combined file was produced to facilitate trend analysis of SPPA estimates over time. Because arts participation rates change over time, the combined file is not recommended as a source to calculate current arts participation. Users should check the NADAC Website for the most current data source for estimating arts participation. The combined file has 97,295 cases and 85 variables.

《公共参与艺术调查》（SPPA）由美国国家艺术基金会赞助，旨在增进对美国人参与艺术活动的认知。本综合数据文件汇集了1982年、1985年、1992年、2002年、2008年和2012年的SPPA数据。该综合数据文件未包含1997年的SPPA数据，因为1997年SPPA的调查设计与其他六个SPPA研究截然不同。受访者被问及一系列核心问题，涉及他们在爵士音乐、古典音乐、歌剧、音乐剧、戏剧（非音乐剧）、芭蕾舞、其他舞蹈、艺术博物馆、手工艺品博览会以及历史公园/纪念碑遗址等方面的参与情况和出席频率。此外，还询问了他们的阅读偏好。数据文件包含人口统计和地理变量，以及住宅单位信息。该综合文件的产生旨在便于对SPPA估计值随时间变化的趋势分析。由于艺术参与率随时间变化，本综合文件不推荐作为计算当前艺术参与率的来源。用户应查阅NADAC网站以获取估算艺术参与的最新数据来源。该综合文件包含97,295个案例和85个变量。
