Abstract: Adopting the person-environment (P-E) fit theory, this study examines the relationship between physical (i.e., hearing and mobility) and psychiatric (i.e., attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, depression and anxiety) disabilities and entrepreneurial intention in 302 graduate and undergraduate students from a business school at a private university in the northeastern United States. In contrast to prior studies, we found no relationship between physical and psychiatric disabilities and entrepreneurial intention. However, data supported relationships between gender and race and entrepreneurial intention. Female students had lower entrepreneurial intention than male students, while students of Color had higher entrepreneurial intention than their White counterparts.
