Entrepreneurship is an important part of any economy today regardless of its level of development. However, not in all contexts do entrepreneurs operate in the same way, nor are they motivated by the same factors. This research seeks to identify possible coincidence factors and differences between entrepreneurs that operate in different contexts from the point of view of their historical evolution, the duration of these and the economic and social model applied in the countries. Specifically, a comparative study is carried out between entrepreneurs from the republics of Ecuador and Cuba considering various variables such as: personality characteristics (attitude to failure, risk, perseverance and innovation), use of the available time fund for work in entrepreneurship; Impact of the environment in relation to: government regulations, taxes, level of competition and availability of suppliers, as well as the structure of personal expenses projected in the short and long term that entrepreneurs assume as a stimulus for their actions. For the development of the study, a description of the behavior of the variables was initially made and later, by hypothesis testing, to verify differences and similarities between both populations. The study allowed us to identify common and divergent aspects between both populations analyzed. Similarly, it showed how differences in the administrative and financial environment in which entrepreneurs operate generate changes in their priorities and projections.

Male Homosexuals

Most studies on the personality of homosexuals have been based on patients or prisoners (e.g. Cattell and Morony, 1962), and much less is known about those who do not fall into these categories. This report summarizes a comparison of the personalities of a sample of normal British homosexuals with a patient group who sought treatment. It was hoped through this investigation, an offshoot study of a major treatment programme for homosexuals, to determine the relationship between personality characteristics and referral for treatment; also to obtain further information about the personalities of non-treatment-seeking homosexuals.

Normal Controls

In a comparative study (Vinoda, 1966) of personality characteristics of 50 female attempted suicides and an individually matched group of 50 psychiatric controls and 50 normals, it was observed that the attempted suicides differed from the psychiatric and normal controls on measures of hostility, guilt, rigidity and neuroticism. Attempted suicides (AS) were significantly more hostile and rigid than both psychiatric controls (PC) and normal controls (NC), and they were significantly more personally ill (neurotic) than normal controls but not more than psychiatric controls. On the basis of previous researches it was hypothesized that the group of attempted suicides would be more hysteroid in their personality and intropunitive in the direction of their punitiveness than the control groups. The first study (Vinoda, 1966) did not reveal such differences. The scrutiny of results showed that there were more or less equal numbers of hysteroid and obsessoid personalities among attempted suicides and similarly a more or less equal number of persons who were intropunitive or extrapunitive in the direction of their aggression. This led the author to hypothesize that these variables might be more related to the nature of suicidal attempts in terms of seriousness of the attempts made.
