Abstract
Although much of the work assessing the impact of entrepreneurship education is conducted using intentional models of behavior, weaknesses in scale development have hampered scholars' ability to rigorously interpret the research. We review the literature and discover that the most commonly cited entrepreneurial attitudes measure (Kolvereid, 1996a; 1996b) has yet to be empirically validated. To do so, we collect data from 2,245 English-speaking students from around the world. Results indicate that the reduced measure is predictive of entrepreneurial intentions. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
