Abstract:

Entrepreneurship has been referred to as an economical model for many years; however, the study of entrepreneurship from a psychological perspective is fairly young. Recent literature has focused largely on analyzing the personality characteristics of entrepreneurs and comparing them to wage or salary employed workers. Understanding the personality characteristics of entrepreneurs is vitally important in understanding entrepreneurship, and therefore, the economy as a whole. This study utilizes concepts from past literature and findings from empirical studies in order to assess the personality

Do birds of a feather flock together or do opposites attract? The aim of this thesis is to consider this question in the context of online social networks. Humans, unlike birds, can flock together based on a wide variety of characteristics, such as age, gender, or political affiliation. The tendency of people to assort based on a common trait is referred to as homophily. Research into homophilous traits has often overlooked psychological characteristics. In particular, while personality is studied extensively in the context of social media use, it has received little attention in the homophily
