The theory that best explains Abe's change of attitude towards his action is the Cognitive Dissonance theory.

Cognitive Dissonance is the mental discomfort produced by the <em>contradictory beliefs</em> that a person holds. In this case, Abe suffers from cognitive dissonance as a result of copying answers from his classmate in the exam. In order to relieve from this stress, he tries to <em>justify</em> his action by denying his wrongdoing and transferring responsibility to his classmate by claiming he did not do enough in order to prevent him from copying.
