The influence of sensation seeking in the heritability of entrepreneurship (2008, background): “If that chemical reaction controls brain activity, it can infl uence the development of individual attributes that affect behaviors, such as the tendency of people to become entrepreneurs ( White et al., 2006, 2007 ).”
The genetic basis of entrepreneurship: Effects of gender and personality (2009, unknown): “A similar latent construct approach has been used by other researchers who investigated the biological basis of entrepreneurship (e.g., Nicolaou, Shane, Cherkas, Hunkin, et al., 2008; White et al., 2006).”
Is the Tendency to Engage in Entrepreneurship Genetic? (2008, background): “Second, genes might predispose people to develop individual attributes that affect the tendency of people to engage in entrepreneurship (White et al. 2006, 2007).”
Gender differences in financial risk aversion and career choices are affected by testosterone (2009, result): “A relation between testosterone and career paths has also been reported by other studies (22, 23).”
The effect of curricular and extracurricular activities on university students’ entrepreneurial intention and competences (2017, background): “…entrepreneurship behaviour is genetically established; on the other hand, it is explained that entrepreneurship behaviour is shaped from experience and interaction with one’s surroundings, making it a matter of learning (Aldrich and Wiedenmayer 1993; Baron 2002; White, Thornhill, and Hampson 2006).”
ADHD-like behavior and entrepreneurial intentions (2013, result): “By examining the mediating role of risk taking propensity in the relation between ADHD-like behavior—that shows a highly genetic predisposition—and entrepreneurial intentions, our study also adds to the understanding of the genetic basis of entrepreneurship (van der Loos et al. 2013; Nicolaou et al.”
The Psychology of Entrepreneurship (2020, background): “Testosterone is suggested to influence risk-taking which in turn affects the tendency to become self-employed (Bönte et al., 2015; White et al., 2006).”
Recent developments in the economics of entrepreneurship (2008, background): “Along related lines, White et al. (2006) argue that howwe behave is, at least in part, affected by the evolutionary history of our species.”
