Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Historically, cultural capital is a method of controlling resources and reinforcing a social structure that gives consumers of highbrow culture an advantage over consumers of lowbrow culture. Research indicates that high-status persons have more culture capital, operationally defined as passing knowledge of cultural fields, with which they can develop social ties and increase social mobility. If, however, as Peterson (1996) finds, both high-status and low-status Americans are becoming more omnivorous, what distinguishes the taste patterns of the status groups? Do American status groups have different taste patterns than European status groups? The goal of this paper is to compare American musical taste patterns using Survey for Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) data from 2002 to published findings on Dutch musical taste patterns (Van Eijck, 2001). This study tests Peterson�s omnivore hypothesis and explores American taste patterns for 21 musical genres. Three unique findings emerge from our analysis. First, in contrast to Peterson�s findings regarding the omnivore hypothesis, our findings support the finding by Van Eijck (2001) that education is a better predictor of omnivorousness than occupational status. Second, Americans are more omnivorous than the Dutch. Finally, when compared to the Dutch, Americans have greater differentiation and breadth across musical genres. Theoretical implications and findings are discussed.
