Given that the outcome of entrepreneurial intention is engagement in entrepreneurship, it is arguable that similar theoretical postulations apply to both concepts.
Based on a content review of the scale, reports that the scale may be multidimensional [ 14], and theoretical postulations about how anxiety and depression may interrelate [ 19], it was hypothesized that an intercorrelated three-factor model would demonstrate the best fit.
To scale down the context-specific attributes to a number manageable within a DCE and to ensure that the final attributes and levels conformed to the theoretical postulations of a DCE, we elicited expert opinion and further validated our results through a pilot study.
The important role of oral vocabulary, especially the depth aspect, in reading comprehension, as highlighted in the above-mentioned studies, is compatible with the theoretical postulations that comprehension may be linked to the semantic side or the quality of lexical representations (Perfetti, 1999; Perfetti & Hart, 2001).
For example, application of theoretical techniques and the postulation of the "two hit" hypothesis in the early 1970s led to the identification of tumor-suppressor genes [ 127].
Hawking's postulations were purely theoretical, simply because the high speeds and densities needed to simulate a black hole are hard to recreate in a laboratory.
Empirical verification of the model is carried out using an experimental design setting and the results gave support to the postulations based on our theoretical model.
There is no other source of existential postulation, as there would be if one were to add, say, set theory to the theoretical mix.
From a theoretical perspective, the observed declines in self-efficacy are not surprising and are consistent with Bandura's (1986 , 1997 postulations that self-efficacy beliefs are most influenced by the quality of one's mastery experiences.
