Risk taking considered as one important dimension of entreprenurial orientation. This research aims to study gender differences on risk taking among entrepreneur. The overall objective of this research is to highlight the link between gender difference in risk taking when managing small business.  Independent Sample T-Test and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to explore the phenomenon about whether there is differences in perception among male and female entrepreneur. Descriptive statistic reveals that female entrepreneur scored higher than the male entrepreneur on four of six indicator of risk taking. Eventhough there is no statistical differences in risk taking between male and female entrepreneur is small and the percentage of variance explained is low, there are significant differences in how male and female entrepreneur reflect their risk taking perception found in this study. Overall, these recommendations should help researchers to design and use more relevant risk-taking measures.Conclusions drawn from this study might be useful to better understand the use of risk taking model in entrepreneurial context.

The Relationship

AbstractThe gender difference in the propensity to initiate negotiation has been theorized to be mediated by three constructs: recognition of opportunities, entitlement, and apprehension. This study seeks to investigate whether differences in feminine and masculine traits can be used to explain gender differences in the three predictors of the propensity to initiate negotiations. Data was collected from 350 surveys distributed in Lebanon. Items were used to measure the constructs masculinity and femininity, as well as the three predictors of the propensity to initiate negotiation, namely Recognition of opportunities, Entitlement, and Apprehension. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to assess the validity of the measures, while structural equation modeling was used to investigate the relationship between the personality traits and the three constructs. Results indicate that masculinity enhances entitlement, which in turn leads to higher levels of negotiation while femininity enhances apprehension, which in turn leads to lower levels of negotiation. Both masculine and feminine traits were found to be positively related to the recognition of opportunities.

Confirmatory Factor

The factor structure of the 30-item Domain Specific Risk Taking Attitude (DOSPERT) scale (Blais & Weber, 2006) was examined with a convenience sample of 205 Chinese undergraduate students from Macao. A comparison of five competing models via confirmatory factor analysis yielded empirical support for the perspective that risk-taking attitude was content-dependent. After removing the items in the Financial subscale of the DOSPERT scale and some post hoc modifications, a reasonably good fit to the four-correlated-factor model was achieved, in concordance with the theoretical framework. However, items in some scales needed further revision to purify their factor structure so that the DOSPERT scale would be a more psychometrically sound measure for investigating one's risk-taking attitudes in different life domains.

Purpose – The purpose of the present study is to identify the determinants that potentially influence quality education in private universities in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – To attain this objective, 234 data were collected through face-to-face interviews on campus during February-March 2013 from Bachelor of Business Administration students. The bootstrapping procedure through AMOS was applied to analyze the data apart from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings – The bootstrap path coefficients suggest that seven factors are statistically significant among the eight postulated independent variables. The outcomes of the confirmatory factor analysis, such as factor loadings, eigenvalues and percentage of variance explained, as well as reliability coefficients, are observed to conform to the results of path analysis, such as item loadings and path coefficients, which consistently increased the robustness of the study. Practical implications – The overall results of the study would be beneficial to the planners to formulate the proper policy to ensure the quality excellence in the private higher educational institutes. Originality/value – The research is based on empirical evidence which deserves originality in terms of data and methods of analysis.

Silat is a class of indigenous martial arts found in some countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and south of Thailand. In Indonesia, silat is organised by several silat organisations according to its style (aliran) or school (perguruan). This essay is aimed to study the motivation of playing silat and classify it into its motivational factors by applying confirmatory factor analysis. The data were collected by distributing self-administered questionnaire to 180 members of Perisai Diri at Bali Province, one silat school in Indonesia. Six factors were confirmed as motivational factors for playing silat. These factors, order decreasingly according to their variance explained, are Appreciation of Indigenous Culture, Personal Achievement, Self-Defence, Recreation, Health Maintenance, and Mental & Spiritual Building.

Information commitments are a profile of evaluative standards and information searching strategies on the Internet. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the information commitments instrument in consumption domain, and differences among scales underlying the instrument. A total of 258 university students participated in the survey who have experiences in online shopping. Using confirmatory factor analysis technical, this study has identified valid measures for each construct underlying information commitments in consumptions domain. The results indicate that participants preferred to utilize “content” to judge the usefulness of the information, and use “multiple sources” to evaluate the correctness of information, that they oriented to use search strategy “elaboration” in verifying online consumption information. Gender differences are also revealed on standard of the “multiple sources” and the “content”.

<p>The cognitive abilities that are necessary to make-mating interactions effectively have been described as "Mating Intelligence." This is an evolutionary construct that has just recently initiated to receive practical consideration. This research work investigated the psychometric properties of the Persian translation of the Mating Intelligence Scale in Iran. A total of 760 male and female heterosexual participants (380 for each sex) were recruited from colleges. Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire and reported some demographic information such as age, their qualification degree and major. The male and female version of the Geher and Kaufman (2007) Mating Intelligence Scale were used to gather data. The factor analysis with the Oblimin rotation showed five factors with Eigen-values greater than one (Sexual Over-Estimation, Cross-Sex Mind Reading, Self-Deception, Other-Deception, and Courtship Display) in males sample. Also, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm the results of the exploratory analysis. The values of fitness indicators show that this model benefits from good fitness. Results showed four factors with eigenvalues greater than one (Sexual Over-Estimation, Cross-Sex Mind Reading, Other-Deception, and Courtship Display) in females sample, and again, the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results of exploratory analysis. In general, the use of the MI questionnaire is appropriate regarding the Iranian population due to the excellent validity and reliability and can be used in screening, therapeutic and educational situations.</p>

The pivotal topic of the debate regarding criminal code amendment involves expanding the scope of punishable acts to include “sex without consent.” In this context, this study aimed to exploratorily investigate how the public estimates sexual consent, focusing on gender differences. Specifically, 500 respondents were asked to read a scenario depicting two characters in a sexual situation and presented with possible 30 reactions one character could take when she/he was asked to engage in sexual intercourse. Subsequently, they were asked to estimate the degree to which the character consented when she/he had taken a particular reaction. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three factors: explicit nonconsent, implicit nonconsent, and implicit consent. Although three reactions loaded on different factors in female and male samples, a three-factor structure was maintained in the analysis using gender-specific samples. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed no significant differences in the scores of the three factors between the samples. These results suggest that sexual consent/nonconsent has a more complicated graduation than the present debate, and future possible amendments must consider this complication.
