Abstract | This study examines the ways in which different forms of cultural capital are associated with college students’ subjective well-being and social support. Results show that when social capital is accounted for, cultural capital derived from sports participation was positively associated with subjective well-being and social support. Further, the size and density of discussion networks about culture were positively associated with well-being and social support in general, while the heterogeneity of networks was negatively related. Findings from this study extend previous research on cultural capital by (1) drawing attention to the inclusive aspect of cultural capital, (2) examining online cultural participation as well as multiple forms of cultural activities including popular and sporting events, (3) applying the literature on interpersonal discussion networks to the context of culture and demonstrating the value of communicative action about cultural experiences, and (4) understanding the implications of cultural capital in a college setting. |
Results show that when social capital is accounted for, cultural capital derived from sports participation was positively associated with subjective well-being and social support. previous studies of cultural capital mostly asked respondents behaviors and participation relating to off-line cultural activities such as gallery visits movie watching in film theaters and attendance in pop concerts noble & davies ; yaish & katz-gerro. given the inherently different modes of participation involved in off-line and online forms of cul- tural capital we suggest that they need to be distinguished from each other in examining their rela- tionship with individuals subjective well-being and social support. in summary hypotheses that examined the relationships between online and off-line forms of cultural capital and individuals subjective well-being hypotheses la and lb and perceived social support hypotheses a and b were partially supported with sports participation showing the most notable effect. social capital measured in both bonding and bridging forms was included in all models so that we can separate out the independent effect of cultural capital.
