Abstract
This study examines to what extent, and via what pathways, cultural preferences are transferred from one generation to another. Following social learning theories we expect that, first, parents influence their children’s cultural preference by setting a “good” cultural example, and, second, by actively guiding their children to a theater, museum or concert hall. Besides a direct influence, we expect an indirect effect through the educational attainment of the child. We test our hypotheses by applying structural equation models on data from the Family Survey of the Dutch Population 2009 (n = 2.445). Results show that parents influence their children’s cultural participation mainly by providing them with active parental instruction. Indirect effects through a child’s educational attainment are mostly significant, but appear to be much less pronounced.
