As a result of subjective studies, behaviour modification strategies have been widely investigated as a means to curtail the impact of noise generated by staff on patient sleep and have been cited as being successful in reducing noise levels by 6%to20%0% [78-80] [78-80]
The paradigm is especially useful to develop models based on 'soft' factors such as the irrational and subjective human behaviour employed to construct sociological models [ 24].

It suggests that behavioural intentions are dependent upon attitudes towards behaviour, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control.
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.
These are, "attitude toward the behaviour", "subjective norm"; and "perceived behavioural control".
This theory also suggests that three different aspects explain educational aspirations: attitude (towards a behaviour), subjective norms and perceived behavioural control.
Three mediating variables – Attitude Toward the Behaviour, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behavioural Control – combine to influence a person's intentions toward the target behaviour.
It proposes that intention strength is determined by three variables: attitudes towards the behaviour, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control over it.
Intention mediates the influence of three predictors of intentions, namely attitude towards the behaviour, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control (PBC).
