Intentions are influenced by attitude (positive or negative evaluation of behaviour), subjective norm (perceived social pressure/acceptance for behavioural performance), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) (perceived ease or difficulty of performing behaviour; also thought to directly predict behaviour).
Culture shapes experience and expression of symptoms, signs of mental disorders and evaluation of behaviour.
Since the evaluation of behaviour and its consequences is necessary to determine whether or not current strategies should be maintained, abnormal response monitoring may contribute to behavioural rigidity in ASD.
Therefore, the core of our framework stresses the more subjective, perceived communication behaviour and people's evaluations of that behaviour (i.e. satisfaction), instead of objective, observable behaviour.
Judgement is concerned with the evaluation of behaviours, including the subcategories of normality, capacity, tenacity, veracity and propriety.
Intentions, in turn, are predicted by attitude (positive/negative evaluations of the behaviour), subjective norm (perceived pressure from others to perform the behaviour), and perceived behavioural control (PBC, perceived ease/difficulty of performing the behaviour; also believed to influence behaviour directly) [ 25].
This knowledge is required to make emotional evaluations of social behaviour.
For example, an examination of college students' moral evaluations of cheating behaviour in the United States showed that attitudes toward academic dishonesty accounted for nearly 40%% of the variation in academically dishonest behaviour (Bolin 2004).
For the evaluation component of behaviour, a role-play assessment of communication skills was allocated by the administrator to a subset from each of the conditions (CC, EC1, EC2) to be examined when they had spaces in their timetable.
