This study explored the relations between entrepreneurial intentions and behavior and a set of psychological factors to the the student enrolled in two master programs in sciences of education. We used a scale derived from Theory of Planned Behavior, Bateman and Crant's Proactive Personality Scale, and a five points Likert scale for attitude toward learning. We also use items to assess entrepreneurial intentions and behavior, applied on a sample of 48 graduates of the two master programs. Research findings show that the attitudes toward learning and proactive personality are the most predictive factors for entrepreneurial behaviour.

This study explored the relation of alexithymia (cognitive and affective deficit in processing, adjustment and verbalizing emotions) with interpersonal problems in a sample of adolescents. One hundred seventy-four (174) high-school students completed Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and a short version of Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32). As we expected, alexithymia is positively associated with interpersonal problems, high alexitymic adolescents having significantly more interpersonal problems than non alexithymic adolescents. Regression analysis showed that interpersonal problems can be predicted by alexithymia. This study highlights the negative impact of alexithymia on adolescents's relationships, through the interpersonal problems that alexithymia produces in their life.
