Synthesized answer
The author connects communicative ethics to the theory of social action by examining research in the social psychology of moral and personal development [2]. This connection aims to demonstrate that fundamental moral intuitions originate from universal normative presuppositions of social interaction, rather than solely from specific cultural traditions [1].

The passages do not provide specific details about the evidence used within this research in social psychology. They only state that such research is examined as a means to support the author's argument [1, 2].
