AB Advances on the study of entrepreneurial intention among students from universities motivate to further investigatethe factors behind this intention. In this paper, we focus on the effect of affective traits (positive andnegative) on the entrepreneurial intention antecedents proposed by Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior drawingon the arguments of affect priming. Using a sample of 597 students from Spain, we use structural equationmodel to test our hypotheses. Our results show that positive affective traits have a positive impact on the attitudetoward entrepreneurship (ATE), perceived behavioral control of entrepreneurship (PBC), and social normstoward entrepreneurship (SN). Negative affective traits negatively influence ATE and SN, but not PBC. In addition,using a K-means clustering analysis and an analysis of variance, our study further explores how differentaffective personalities relate to a particular level of entrepreneurial intention. Our results contribute to understandof the psychological processes that influence entrepreneurial intention. Overall, our research contributesto the literature on affect and entrepreneurial cognition by evaluating the interaction of affect and the cognitiveantecedents of entrepreneurial intention.
