Meta-analysis of the relationship between cultural capital and leisure time: based on a systematic review

So far, several researches have been conducted on the relationship between cultural capital and leisure time, especially in the theoretical framework of Bourdieu. For this purpose, all the researches that were published in the 90s in reliable quarterly journals were extracted and analyzed in 5 levels with the system review method. Mend was examined and finally, based on the specified criteria, 11 works were selected and used in the meta-analysis process. In the initial stage, the assumptions of homogeneity and publication bias were checked, and after the tests, the heterogeneity and lack of publication bias were confirmed, and then the data were evaluated by CMA software. The findings of the current research show that the effect size of cultural capital and leisure time is 0.470, which is in the medium range based on Cohen's effect size interpretation system. Also, audience and education variables were considered as moderating variables and it was determined that the effect size coefficient in citizens (0.497) is more than youth (0.413) and in non-students (0.535) more than those studying (0.270). In fact, the findings show that the relationship of two variables with the adjustment of citizens and non-productive people can have different effects on each other.
