Just Released: Arts Research Quarterly, Issue 12
The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture are excited to share the twelfth issue of Arts Research Quarterly!
This issue of ARQ features "U.S. Public Perceptions of Artists during the COVID-19 Pandemic," an article by Jennifer L. Novak-Leonard and Rachel Skaggs. This study provides valuable insights into the American public's opinion of artists during the initial two years of the COVID pandemic, offering empirical knowledge for policy decisions and artist advocacy.
Our second highlighted article is "Do Declining Enrollments Predict Teacher Turnover in Music?" by Kenneth Elpus and David S. Miller. It utilizes longitudinal statewide high school student ensemble enrollment and teacher workforce data to explore potential links between student enrollment trends in elective secondary music ensembles and music ensemble teacher job turnover.
The issue further delves into topics such as differences in creativity ratings between human and AI-generated content, the relationship between leisure digital reading habits and text comprehension, the significance of autonomous motivation in hobby music making for health and well-being, and the benefits of creative arts therapy for addressing burnout in healthcare professionals, among other engaging subjects!
