Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Perceived behavioral control refers to the degree to which a person believes that he or she can perform a given behavior. Perceived behavioral control involves the perception of the individual’s own ability to perform the behavior. In other words, perceived behavioral control is behavior-or goal-specific.

Detailed explanation-2: -Perceived behavioral control-This refers to a person’s perception of the ease or difficulty of performing the behavior of interest. Perceived behavioral control varies across situations and actions, which results in a person having varying perceptions of behavioral control depending on the situation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Performance of a behavior is influenced by the presence of adequate resources and ability to control barriers to behaviors. The more resources and fewer obstacles individuals perceive, the greater their perceived behavioral control and the stronger their intention to perform behaviors (22).

Detailed explanation-4: -Perceived behavioural control refers to our own perceptions of our ability to do the behaviour (e.g., ‘I’m liable to forget to turn down the thermostat before I leave the house’).
