Measuring entrepreneurial passion: Conceptual foundations and Scale Validation
Journal of Business Venturing, 2013Co-Authors: Melissa S Cardon, Christopher E. Stevens, Denis A. Grégoire, Pankaj C. PatelAbstract:Along with other affective and emotional dimensions, passion is at the heart of entrepreneurship. Yet past research on entrepreneurial passion (EP) has been hindered by the lack of a sound measurement instrument. Through a series of empirical studies conducted with samples from relevant populations, we develop and validate an instrument to capture EP and its inherent dimensions. We show that the task-specific dimensions of EP (intense positive feelings toward the domains of inventing, founding and developing, and the centrality of these domains to entrepreneurs' self-identity) are conceptually and empirically distinct from one another, and from other emotions and cognitions known to play a role in entrepreneurship. Our theory and results indicate that proper measurement of entrepreneurial passion incorporates the interaction between entrepreneurs' feelings and identity centrality for each domain. We discuss the implications of our model, instrument and findings for future research on the affective components of innovation and entrepreneurship. We also develop specific guidelines for using our validated instrument in future research.

Modified Dental Anxiety Scale: Validation of the Italian version.
Minerva stomatologica, 2015Co-Authors: Enrico Facco, Gumirato E, Gerald Michael Humphris, Edoardo Stellini, Christian Bacci, Stefano Sivolella, F. Cavallin, Gastone ZanetteAbstract:Anxiety is a relevant problem in dental practice. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) is a brief, simple questionnaire consisting of five questions with a total score ranging from 5 to 25, the Italian version of which is not available yet. The aim of the study was to provide an Italian version of the MDAS and check its reliability in oral surgery, which is a major cause of dental anxiety due to the expected perception of pain and suffering.The Italian version of the test was administered to 230 patients (98 male and 132 female patients, ages 14-88 years) undergoing oral surgery. Further recorded data were: American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA-PS), frequency of visiting the dentist and any previous distressing experiences in dental or medical setting.The internal consistency of the test was high, with a Cronbach's alpha=0.92. The MDAS score was significantly higher in females (P

The internal consistency of the test was high, with a Cronbach's alpha=0.92. The MDAS score was significantly higher in females (p<0.0001) and in patients with previous distressing experiences in medical and/or dental settings (p<0.0001); the correlation with age (p=0.01) and frequency on visiting the dentist (p=0.02) were also significant. The patients' selection (oral surgery only) may be a limit of the study, which might not provide an estimation of anxiety prevalence in the general dental population; however our result agree with those of studies performed in other Countries in the generic population, suggesting the absence of major differences with respect to the surgical setting and show the reliability and manageability of the Italian version of MDAS.
