This type of capital is separated from the other types of culturally constituted types of capital, which Bourdieu introduces, which are: personal cultural capital (formal education, knowledge); objective cultural capital (books, art); and institutionalized cultural capital (honours and titles). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Great_British_Class_Survey">Great British Class Survey</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Social_class&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Great British Class Survey"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Great_British_Class_Survey" title="Great British Class Survey">Great British Class Survey</a></div> <p>On 2 April 2013, the results of a survey<sup id="cite_ref-BBC_Lab_UK_Survey_58-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBC_Lab_UK_Survey-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> conducted by <a href="/wiki/BBC_Lab_UK" title="BBC Lab UK">BBC Lab UK</a> developed in collaboration with academic experts and slated to be published in the journal <i><a href="/wiki/Sociology_(journal)" title="Sociology (journal)">Sociology</a></i> were published online.<sup id="cite_ref-Sociology4213_59-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sociology4213-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBCHugeSurvey4313_60-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCHugeSurvey4313-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBCMethodology_61-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCMethodology-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBCResults4213_62-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCResults4213-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NYT4313_63-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYT4313-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The results released were based on a survey of 160,000 residents of the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> most of whom lived in <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a> and described themselves as "<a href="/wiki/White_people" title="White people">white</a>".
