Different authors have defined attitude in similar ways, with attitude generally referring to the degree to which someone likes or dislikes something. A study in Andhra Pradesh found that students viewed entrepreneurship positively but considered starting a business more difficult than in past decades. Another study found that educational background, age, autonomy, independence, and self-efficacy influenced students' intentions to become entrepreneurs, and that interest decreased with higher levels of education. Additional research reported that personal or family experience with entrepreneurship, as well as encouragement and training, can impact students' attitudes toward entrepreneurship.
