2. Data and file overview
Both files contain the results of the studies (study 1 and its replication—study 2), in which we investigated the acceptance of different levels of pastelosis, examined whether the acceptance of pastelosis differs between laypersons and experts (people with training in architecture), and explored whether attitudes toward elevations differing in the level of pastelosis are related to cultural capital (institutional, material, and embodied).

Liking_gray, Liking_past, Liking_anti, Liking_medium - degree to which participants like buildings with specific types of facades
Accept_pastelosis_av, Accept_antipastelosis_av, Accept_medium_av - average level of acceptance for changes to specific facades based on Acceptance of the Place Change Scale.
Embodied_ - questions related to cultural activities associated with embodied cultural capital
Materialized_ - questions related to the number of cultural artifacts owned, associated with materialized cultural capital
