Using qualitative data from 247 semi-structured interviews in four states (Mexico City, Oaxaca, Tamaulipas, and the State of Mexico) (N=247), this study examines perceptions of factors that influence cultural participation in Mexico, specifically in terms of cultural attendance. Through a thematic-analysis approach, we identify 127 thematic units, which were organized into 22 distinctive themes that show perceptions of promoters and inhibitors of cultural participation. Themes emerging from this study suggest that individual (e.g., economic resources, time, and taste), social (i.e., family and companionship), and contextual attributes (e.g., distance, cultural offering, public security, and public transport) are key in influencing cultural participation. In comparison to national level conditions, the state level, in this sample, was not indicated as relevant in influencing attendance. Observations regarding promoters and inhibitors of cultural participation have the potential to inform the development of policy, and programming decisions that promote attendance and, therefore, cultural participation in Mexico.

本研究使用来自四个州（墨西哥城、瓦哈卡州、塔毛利帕斯州和墨西哥州）（N=247）的 247 次半结构化访谈的定性数据，研究了对影响墨西哥文化参与的因素的看法，特别是在文化方面出席。通过主题分析方法，我们确定了 127 个主题单元，这些单元被组织成 22 个不同的主题，显示了对文化参与的推动者和抑制者的看法。本研究中出现的主题表明，个人（例如，经济资源、时间和品味）、社会（即家庭和陪伴）和背景属性（例如，距离、文化提供、公共安全和公共交通）是关键影响文化参与。与国家层面的条件相比，在这个样本中，国家层面，未表明与影响出席率相关。关于文化参与的促进者和抑制者的观察有可能为促进墨西哥出勤率和文化参与的政策和规划决策的制定提供信息。
