“…Of particular importance is the role of the general environment of each person relative to the knowledge level, such as the level of uncertainty, the existence of information asymmetry, the existence of high transaction costs, etc. [21], resulting in the occurrence of differences among individuals in connection with their perceptions vis-à-vis discovery, invention and the production of new innovations [32,33].…”

“…Additionally, the greater the freedom of individuals to express their views, the greater the likelihood for the formulation of new ideas and creative effects [73]. In societies with greater emphasis on individualism, a greater diffusion of creativity and innovation is observed, as opposed to in-group collectivistic societies in which diffusion is restricted in the context of the group alone [33].…”

The concept of creativity is multidimensional, helping to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities and favoring in this way economic growth. Next to this basic argument of neoclassical theory, which ignores the role of entrepreneurship in growth, the present chapter states that entrepreneurship should be included as a contributing factor of growth. Through this key argument, this chapter attempts to clarify the importance of creativity to entrepreneurial activity, concentrating on the factors that influence entrepreneurial creativity that in turn lead to economic growth, as well as to capture the way in which entrepreneurial creativity is affected by this procedure. These factors are knowledge and education, the management of disrupting technologies, spill-over creativity, the role of cultural background and personal characteristics of individuals, the motives and incentives of individuals, the existence of-and access to-resources, and the institutions that delineate the environment of action of the entrepreneur.

“…Levels of attachment and reaction to separation, autonomy and commit ment, interdependence and independence are some of the characteristics that determine a collectiv ist versus individualistic social cohesion (James & Gilliland, 2013;Kagitcibasi, 1994;Petrakis, 2014;Triandis, 1995).…”

“…The family meets the social needs of the individuals in the group, which helps form a sense of identity, commit ment and belonging. Alternatively, in an individualist setting, the emphasis is on the individual, his/her identity, achievement, and independence (James & Gilliland, 2013;Hofstede, 1991;Petrakis, 2014;Pyke & Bengtson, 1996;Triandis, 1995).…”

ABS TRACTIn this study we investigate parasocial relationships in media; more specifically we explore why audience members fashion attachments with television personalities. The study aligns with previous research in the area by Cole and Leets (1999) that looked at attachments formed with media figures and the correlation to level of attachments in real-life relationships. In their study, Cole and Leets (1999) used a three-dimensional attachment scale that included anxious-ambivalent, avoidant, and secure, and found those with higher insecurity or unstable real-life relationships have stronger parasocial relationships. We surveyed university age respondents and we used the same scales as Cole and Leets (1999) to examine whether in Kuwait, where dating violates social norms and looser bonds are found outside of the home, that stronger parasocial relationships with media personalities will be found because of the need to fulfill relationship needs outside of family . Our hypotheses in this chapter is that higher levels of anxious-ambivalents and avoidants both will be found due to the strict collectivist nature of the society forcing many to compensate for lack of real world relationships by forming mediated bonds. M oreover, we p osited and discovered that that these two groups also showed the highest levels of parasocial relationships in our sample.
