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年公众艺术参与调查（Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, SPPA）数据集包含两类调查的应答数据：当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS）以及2022年7月实施的CPS配套SPPA补充调查。该补充调查由美国国家艺术基金会（National Endowment for the Arts）资助，旨在调研美国国内公众的艺术参与行为。当前人口调查（CPS）由美国人口普查局每月开展，负责收集居住在美国境内、15岁及以上非体制化平民人口的劳动力相关数据，可提供该群体当前经济状况与活动情况的估算值，涵盖农业与非农业总就业人数、非农业个体经营者、家政人员、非农业家庭企业无报酬帮手、薪资雇员等群体的就业估算，以及总失业人数估算。本数据集的基础CPS条目统计了受访前一周的劳动力活动情况，此外还采集了受访者的人口统计学特征，包括年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、受教育程度、家庭关系、职业与行业等。除基础CPS问题外，调查员还从约半数抽样CPS家庭中随机选取两名18岁及以上的家庭成员，针对公众艺术参与行为开展补充问询。该补充调查包含受访者过去一年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，则该受访者可代其配偶/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：核心模块1（编号C1Q1A-C1Q17A）与核心模块2（编号C2Q1A-C2Q1R），用于问询受访者是否参与过艺术活动或现场演出，若参与则进一步询问参与频率与地点，同时还包含受访者过往阅读书籍相关的问题。此外，SPPA补充调查还设置了四个主题模块，用于调研其他类型的艺术参与行为：模块A（编号MAQ1A-MAQ5D）问询受访者是否使用电子设备或电子媒体观看、收听艺术演出，若使用则询问使用频率，同时包含与艺术演出信息分享相关的问题；模块B（编号MBQ1A-MBQ4A）与模块C（编号MCQ1A-MCQ7）问询受访者是否开展过艺术创作活动（如歌唱、舞蹈、乐器演奏、绘画、摄影等），若开展则询问活动频率与地点，此外还包含受访者参与健身、体育运动、狩猎、园艺等特定休闲爱好的相关问题，并询问参与频率；模块D（编号MDQ1A-MDQ4H）问询受访者是否曾学习过音乐、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相关课程。后续跟进问题MDQ2用于确认该类课程是否为在校修读课程，另有跟进问题MDQ3用于确认受访者是否在过去12个月内开展过该类活动，最后一个跟进问题MDQ4用于确认受访者是否通过非课程类的其他途径学习过该类技能。
