与其他休闲活动相比，艺术参与对幸福的影响受到的关注较少，相关主题的研究产生了混合的结果，确定没有影响或影响很小。我们使用来自英国的大样本（N = 7753）调查这个问题。与早期的研究相比，分位数回归被用来允许艺术出勤率和其他控制与幸福之间的关系在不同的幸福水平上有所不同。先前研究中发现的关系得到了证实，但分位数回归结果表明，这种关系的性质在幸福变量的分布中有所不同。在下四分位数发现显著相关性，在中位数水平发现中度相关性（在10%水平显著）。
Compared to other leisure time activities, the effect of arts attendance on happiness has received less attention and studies of related topics have produced mixed results, identifying either no effect or very small effects. We investigate this issue using a large (N = 7753) sample from the UK. In contrast to earlier studies, quantile regression is used to allow the relationship between arts attendance and other controls and happiness to vary across different levels of happiness. The relationship found in prior studies is confirmed, but the quantile regression results show that the nature of the relationship varies across the distribution of the happiness variable. A significant relationship is found at the lower quartile, and a moderate relationship (significant at the 10% level) is found at the median level.
