Paper doi abstract bibtex Most studies of the determinants of cultural capital have used taste or participation as interchangeable indicators of embodied cultural capital. In this article, we propose to treat the two concepts separately. Specifically, we argue that participation is constrained to a larger degree by financial resources than by tastes and to a lesser degree by cultural resources (parental cultural capital, father’s education, and respondent’s education); we further argue that tastes are shaped to a greater degree than participation by socialization processes and through the habitus and, to a lesser degree, by financial resources. This article contributes to two aspects of the literature on cultural stratification. First, it deepens our understanding of the association between individuals’ tastes and their cultural participation, an issue that has rarely been addressed before. Second, it raises a discussion of the relative influence of cultural versus economic resources on tastes vs. participation, which have not yet been modelled simultaneously. Data for this research was purposely collected by the authors in a survey that was conducted in 2007 in Israel. As expected, we find that cultural participation is constrained by tastes and economic resources, while tastes are constrained by cultural resources but not by income. Introduction Bourdieu’s (1987 [1979]) theorization of cultural capital treats attitudes, preferences, and behaviour as forms of embodied cultural capital.1 Preferences and behaviour in particular have received different empir- ical manifestations in various works (Lamont and Lareau, 1988), and are often seen as operationally equivalent. Scant attention is paid to the implications of choosing one operationalization of cultural capital over another.
