Abstract

The impacts of cultural engagement on individuals’ health and wellbeing have been well documented. Researchers have highlighted positive effects on various psychological, physiological, and social outcomes as a result of participation in cultural events such as attending concerts, theater, museums, and art exhibits. The purposes of this study were to create an instrument to measure wellbeing constructs (e.g., cultural, emotional, social, physical) and explore the relationships among them. A sample of 358 participants attending concerts performed by a civic orchestra in the southeastern United States completed a questionnaire designed to measure eight wellbeing constructs. Split half exploratory confirmatory factor analyses resulted in the retention of four wellbeing constructs: general, emotional, financial, and cultural. Structural equation modeling showed statistically significant relationships between cultural wellbeing and the other wellbeing constructs. In addition to the indirect effect of financial wellbeing on emotional and general wellbeing through cultural wellbeing, there were also direct statistically significant relationships. These results highlight the relationship between cultural wellbeing on emotional and general wellbeing and the importance of removing financial barriers to cultural engagement. In addition, the retained cultural wellbeing items focused primarily on community features, indicating the value of community-based cultural engagement opportunities.

财务、文化、情感和总体幸福感之间的关系：结构方程建模研究

文化参与对个人健康和福祉的影响已得到充分记录。研究人员强调了参加音乐会、剧院、博物馆和艺术展览等文化活动对各种心理、生理和社会结果的积极影响。本研究的目的是创造一种工具来衡量幸福结构（如文化、情感、社会、身体），并探索它们之间的关系。358名参与者参加了美国东南部一个市政管弦乐队的音乐会，他们完成了一份旨在衡量八种幸福结构的问卷调查。分割一半探索性验证性因素分析导致四个幸福结构的保留：一般，情感，财务和文化。结构方程模型显示了文化幸福感与其他幸福感结构之间的统计显著关系。除了通过文化幸福感对情感和总体幸福感产生间接影响外，还存在直接的统计显著关系。这些结果强调了文化幸福感对情感和总体幸福感之间的关系，以及消除文化参与的经济障碍的重要性。此外，保留的文化福利项目主要关注社区特色，表明社区文化参与机会的价值。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
