AB Our research studies the influence of positive affect on entrepreneurs' evaluations ofopportunities (i.e. novelty assessments and entrepreneurial selection) as well as howthis influence may be different for entrepreneurs belonging to cultural and creativeindustries. Drawing on arguments on the role of affect in cognition and consideringthe particular situational and individual-level factors of entrepreneurship in culturaland creative industries, we hypothesize that positive affect influences entrepreneurs'opportunity evaluation. We also hypothesize that this effect of positive affect isbarely present for cultural and creative entrepreneurs. We test our hypotheses in asample of nascent entrepreneurs who took part in entrepreneurship training programmes in six incubators in Spain, who we asked to evaluate their own opportunity.Our results show that positive affect positively impacts the perceived novelty andentrepreneurial selection of non-creative entrepreneurs though this impact is limitedfor cultural and creative entrepreneurs.
