We explore cultural participation's impact on subjective well-being in Cluj Metropolitan Area. Using telephone surveys, we identify a positive correlation between cultural engagement and increased well-being, mediated by cultural appraisal. Three primary participation types—active, receptive, and entertainment-related—are identified. Active and entertainment-related activities indirectly enhance well-being through cultural appraisal, while receptive participation shows no significant direct or indirect effect. Controlling socio-economic factors, the mediation analysis underscores cultural practices’ significant impact on well-being. These findings support the “cultural commoning” hypothesis, indicating collective urban cultural engagement fosters shared values and improves subjective well-being.

克卢日都会区的文化参与和主观幸福感：文化共享和协作发展的探索


我们探讨了文化参与对克卢日都会区主观幸福感的影响。通过电话调查，我们确定了文化参与与幸福感增加之间的正相关关系，并以文化评估为中介。确定了三种主要的参与类型——主动、接受和娱乐相关。积极和娱乐相关的活动通过文化评价间接提高了幸福感，而接受性参与没有显示出显着的直接或间接影响。调解分析控制社会经济因素，强调文化习俗对幸福感的重大影响。这些发现支持了“文化共享”假说，表明城市文化的集体参与可以培养共同的价值观并改善主观幸福感。
