Potential for the Further Development of the Lifestyle Approach for Cultural Practice
Abstract
The development of successful measures in the area of cultural participation requires a detailed understanding of the (non-)visitors to cultural institutions. The survey of lifestyles and social milieus is particularly suitable for this purpose. Gunnar Otte’s lifestyle typology makes it possible to conduct a cost-effective survey using a short questionnaire. However, there is still room for improvement with regard to the lifestyle descriptions and the selectivity of the typology. By choosing a different calculation method, the so-called latent class analysis, the content of the typology can be refreshed and further developed. On the basis of Otte’s questionnaire instrument, a new model was calculated using representative data for Berlin, which will be referred to as the “cultural milieu model”. Finally, nine updated milieu descriptions are presented and desiderata are discussed.
