Abstract This research builds a threshold regression model based on 1 798 valid questionnaires collected from 53 Chinese universities. It also investigates the influence of coping skills of university students on their entrepreneurial intention. The estimated results show that there is a threshold effect in the effect of students′ coping skills on entrepreneurial intention. The entrepreneurial intention of students in the sample group of "stronger coping skills" increases with the increase of coping skills, while the entrepreneurial intention of students in the sample group of "weaker coping skills" decreases with the increase of coping skills. In addition, students′ personality of conscientiousness and Chinese universities′ entrepreneurial practice education have a significant positive impact on students′ entrepreneurial intention. According to the comprehensive analysis of the estimated results, this research provides suggestions to stimulate students′ entrepreneurial enthusiasm from different levels such as national education administrators, higher education institution education administrators, heads of departments and specialties, and entrepreneurship educators in higher education institutions.
