Explain how the two examples discussed by the professor illustrate differences in the ways people explain behavior.
People account for their own behavior differently for how they account for behavior of others. When observing the behavior of others, we tend to attribute their actions to their character or their personality rather than to external factors. In contrast, we tend to explain our own behavior in terms of situational factors beyond our own control rather than attributing it to our own character. One explanation for this difference is that people are aware of the situational forces affecting them but not of situational forces affecting others. Thus, we are evaluating someone else's behavior, we focus on the person rather than the situation.
