Descripción:An entrepreneur is an innovator who is also creative and a strategist - someone who firmly believes in their own ideas and executes the successfully. Yet, certain emotional factors stand out among entrepreneurs when undertaking or executing plans, which could be critical for designing future entrepreneurial training programs. This article shows the results of a study in Venezuela that analyzed the relationship among entrepreneurial attitudes and emotional styles as observed in the students who participated,  94 of which were from Central University of Venezuela majoring in Business Administration and Accounting, and 165 students from the Simon Bolivar University majoring in Engineering and short-term Administrative and Industrial career paths.A descriptive, correlational, non experimental design was used based on the “Am I an Entrepreneurial Type?” (STE) scale to measure entrepreneurship as well as an Emotional Style Questionnaire (EEC). The results showed a 33% variance, indicating that an individual with a strong attitude towards entrepreneurship showed negative emotional rumination styles. They are proactive onl yin terms of their propensity towards rumination. Given these results, training guidelines should include addressing the traits of the future entrepreneur and a cross-cutting inclusion of optimism and proactive entrepreneurial attitudes as well as how to control and manage emotions.
