| Abstract: | This article examines the determinants of cultural participation in Israel with an emphasis on the Weberian distinction between class and status. The class measure is based on occupational groupings. Status is operationalized as a rank of occupations based on social distance. It is hypothesized that class will be less important than status in shaping cultural participation patterns. It is also expected that ethnicity and religiosity will be significant factors in shaping cultural participation. Data is based on two telephone surveys of a random sample of the Jewish population in Israel. Contrary to what was expected, the results indicate that class is more influential than status. The result also reveals that ethnicity and religiosity are important factors that shape the cultural participation patterns. |
