| Abstract | Cultural capital theory is an established approach to explain educational inequalities by social origin. Hence, measuring cultural capital in a survey on education like the NEPS is of paramount importance. This paper gives a detailed overview of the cultural capital measurements in the NEPS. It outlines the theoretical background and mechanisms leading to educational inequalities. According to these mechanisms, the cultural capital instruments in the NEPS aim to measure objectified and embodied cultural capital as well as reading culture as means of social distinction and learning. Cultural capital instruments in NEPS starting cohorts 3 and 6 are described. Reliability and validity of the measures were tested using the scientific use files of the NEPS starting cohort 3 and NEPS starting cohort 6. Taken together starting cohort 3 and 6 contain almost all of the numerous cultural capital measurements in the NEPS. Essentially, these results indicate that the majority of the cultural capital measurements are reliable and valid. This is especially true for measures developed for adult respondents whereas measuring cultural capital of students at the beginning of secondary education seems to be more challenging. (Orig.). |
