“…The last part was used to collect data about demographic and educational variables such as age, university course attended, work experiences, etc. In order to assess the five variables of the first part of the questionnaire we asked the participants to rate-using a Likert-type scale with 7 point (from 1-"do not agree at all" to 7-"absolutely agree")-23 sentences or items (Ceresia and Mendola 2017).…”

Although many studies have shown that entrepreneurial intention can be explained according to a theory of planned behavior, some scholars have provided interesting insights into the role of entrepreneurial self-identity perception as a significant precursor of entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire was administered to graduates and students of an Italian university (N = 153). A hierarchical regression analysis controlling for demographic variables was performed in order to test the research hypotheses. The findings of this study are discussed, with particular attention paid to the unexpected, weak, or non-significant effects of perceived behavioral control and social norms on entrepreneurial intention.

The research focuses on keystroke technique differences between pianists and organists. The keystroke characteristics (length and speed) during different hand/arm positions could reveal several differences in relation to the keyboard height. Considering the specifics of playing both instruments, the aim is the comparison of fine-motor parameters between pianists and organists. The assessed sample is repeated playing of C major scale using the right hand. The important criterion is the dynamics difference and its impact on the keystroke. The research was conducted with the keyboard STUDIO LOGIC 88 GRAND, enabling neutral conditions for independent measurement. Moreover, the software CUBASE PRO 9.5 was chosen for sample transformation to exact data. The research focused on the hand position in relation to the angle of its posture. The result validity was verified using the questionnaire. Particular differences in the finger technique of both groups were proved. Nevertheless, the same initial piano preparation leads to similar keystroke technique. The dynamics changing during playing the scale is neutral considering its quality. The differences in the spatial orientation change were revealed. The organ players were more flexible than the piano players when the keyboard position was changed. The similarities and differences of the keystroke technique of the organists and pianists are significantly influenced by the previous piano preparation in case of organists. Moreover, the fluent playing in the unusual keyboard height is best supported by the practical organ preparation. The research results can be used for the methodological and pedagogical purposes and for further scientific research.

“…The 18 items used for the four central constructs have been measured with a 7-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 (do not agree at all) to 7 (absolutely agree). All of these items have been adapted by Ceresia and Mendola (2017), based on well-established and validated measures, as detailed below.…”

Entrepreneurial self-identity is attracting increasing attention as a potentially relevant variable in explaining the entrepreneurial process. So far, most research treats entrepreneurial self-identity as a consequence of, or, at the most, as being developed through the start-up process. In this article, in contrast, we analyze its role as a previous element that helps determine the entrepreneurial intention of individuals, the perceived usefulness of entrepreneurship education, and, indirectly, their interest in participating in entrepreneurship education courses. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of Italian university students and graduates ( N = 88) with no previous participation in entrepreneurship education or self-employment experience. The results clearly support the proposed model. The implications of these results, if further confirmed, are highly relevant. They indicate that there is a strong risk of self-selection bias in most entrepreneurship education evaluation studies. This is due to an element of reversed causation in which participants who already exhibit a higher entrepreneurial self-identity are more interested in entrepreneurship. At the same time, these results also suggest that professionals and public decision-makers involved in fostering entrepreneurship should pay attention to the development of this entrepreneurial self-identity in childhood and adolescence.
