2 kinds of explanations Attribution: when people believe other things are responsible for their mistakes, like excuses. For example, as a teacher, he always hear excuses like my alarm clock didn't work, to explain that they didn't want to be late. Justification: when people know they’re responsible for their mistakes, but there’s a justified reason behind. For example, if someone ditches the class to go to a job interview thinking the interview is more important than the class, this kind of explanation is called justification.
When we tend to make ourselves understood, there are two kinds of explanations. The first is attribution, similar to excuses. It happens when people believe other things are responsible for their mistakes. For example, as a teacher, the professor always hears excuses, like my alarm clock didn't work, to explain that they didn't want to be late. Another explanation is justification. It is the explanation people make when they know they’re responsible for their mistakes, but there’s a justified reason behind. For example, if someone ditches the class to go to a job interview, thinking the interview is more important than the class, this kind of explanation is called justification. (110 words)
