Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Actors see their behaviors as situationally driven, while observers tend to make dispositional attributions. People see their past self as if they were an observer, and, as a result, see their behavior as more dispositionally driven, as compared with their present self, which they see as more driven by situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Introspection is thinking at length about the self to get to know ourselves. We may generate reasons for our behaviors/attitudes by coming up with logical theories for their causes. But these may not be why we really feel as we do about an attitude object, nor be a good explanation for our behavior. We may end up changing an attitude in a way that doesn't match our true self.
