Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions (2020, background): “Gibson [38,42] defined the role model as a person whom an individual perceives as being, to a certain extent, similar to himor herself, and, because of this similarity, the individual wishes to imitate (or to avoid, in particular) certain characteristics or behaviours of that person [43].”
Age, culture, and self-employment motivation (2015, background): “Practices such as childrearing, parenting and role modeling do affect young individuals’ vocational development and career choice (Gibson 2004), including entrepreneurship and self-employment (Van Auken et al. 2006; Lafuente and Vaillant 2013).”
Exploring Identity-Safety Cues and Allyship Among Black Women Students in STEM Environments (2019, methodology): “This definition was taken from previous work defining a role model as someone to whom a person feels similar and would like to be like but, in contrast to a mentor, does not necessarily require quality and consistent contact (Gibson, 2004; see also Dasgupta, 2011).”

Ingroup Experts and Peers as Social Vaccines Who Inoculate the Self-Concept: The Stereotype Inoculation Model (2011, background): “…has documented the benefit of both direct contact and mediated exposure to role models—overall, the data suggest that individuals can be inspired by successful others, which benefits their self-concept whether or not they have had personal contact with them (for a partial review, see Gibson, 2004).”
(How) Do work placements work? Scrutinizing the quantitative evidence for a theory-driven future research agenda (2019, background): “They widen an individual's network and set of available role models and give opportunity for vicarious learning, by allowing to observe others in the workplace (Gibson, 2004).”
Entrepreneurship and role models (2012, background): “Consistent with these role and model aspects, the phenomenon of role models can be explained by theories of (role) identification and social learning (Gibson, 2003; 2004).”

Drivers of Gendered Sectoral and Occupational Segregation in Developing Countries (2020, background): “As women start to make inroads in male sectors and occupations, their increasing numbers and their role as mentors and role models can lead to a self-reinforcing dynamic that can further reduce segregation, at least over a longer period of time (Kanter 1977; Burke and McKeen 1990; Gibson 2004).”
Parents’ performance in entrepreneurship as a “double-edged sword” for the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship (2017, positive): “…of social referents in general, and role models in particular, is determined by both situational and personal factors, research also agrees that Bsome role models will be imposed by the environment; that is, the individual may have little choice over who their parents…are^ (Gibson 2004, p. 142).”
The impact of role models on entrepreneurial intentions and behavior: a review of the literature (2020, background): “Gibson (2004) and Buunk and Gibson (2007) found that making ‘upward or downward comparisons’ with different types of role models has positive effects on entrepreneurial intentions (Brunel et al.”
