Abstract | This literature review identifies, collates and evaluates existing applied research on the social impacts of participation in arts and cultural activity. The project focused on the growing body of research work examining the impact of participating in arts and cultural activity on other areas of social interest such as: cognitive skills and educational attainment; community pride/identity; crime prevention; mood; self-esteem; social behaviour; social cohesion; and health. It concludes that there is much anecdotal and informal evidence of positive impacts from arts participation but little data to support the hypotheses. |
Social impacts of Participation in the Arts and Cultural Activities. the studies of the different areas of the arts and education all took the same format collecting project data from diverse sources reviewing them for relevance and compatibility with the techniques of meta-analysis and testing the results. this is not to say that there are no areas of good practice and the flood of criticisms of evidence currently available is matched by widespread efforts to develop better approaches and ensure better practice in evaluations of the social impact s of participation in the arts and cultural activities. the database shows the beginning of information on the arts and health outcomes and some interest in the arts and regional development and at an individual level on the impact of the arts on self-esteem. these bodies of literature are distinct and each generates different hypotheses as to factors of cause and effect in the development of the area of impact in specific communities or individuals.
