Samenvatting
Empirical cultural participation studies show that socio-demographic variables that are indicative for social class can explain differences in cultural participation. However, Bourdieu's theory on cultural capital suggests that social class is only indirectly linked to cultural participation since shared experiences associated with particular class positions are shaped into enduring dispositions that generate consistent cultural behavior. This study focuses onto the direct effect of these enduring dispositions on reading works of fiction in leisure time. Analyses showed that reading attitude positively affects reading behavior, when the socio-demographic variables, and the amount of spare time are controlled for. The effect of reading attitude on reading behavior is mainly attributable to the effect of the enjoyment aspect. |
