Answer:

Rationalization.

Explanation:

Rationalization is explained here as an ego defense mechanism that people use to make excuses for situations or events in their lives that they do not like. This is seen here as Bruce's case because he is vehemently trying to turn the irrational in his present situation to rational. People use it often when they are angry, depressed, scared or hurt.

The mechanism usually works negatively to make the person feel worse about the situation or event rather than better. Rationalization is a type of cognitive distortion.

In cases like this when people rationalize, they turn irrational things into rational.

An inspector knows that exactly one of 3 suspects committed a crime, and interviews them to find out which. Each person lies in
Alla [95]

Answer:

Here's an accurate explanation as to why C is the correct answer:

A condition of the puzzle is that each person MUST make one statement that is false, and one that is true.

Start with suspect A: If the statement "B did it" is true, then A's other statement "I did not do it" must also be true. Since that does not meet the one true statement, one false statement condition, the statement "B did it" must be FALSE, meaning that A's statement "I did not do it" is TRUE.

On to suspect B: If the statement "I know that C did it" is true, then B's other statement "I did not do it" must also be true. Since that also does not meet the one true statement, one false statement condition, the statement "I know that C did it" must be FALSE, meaning that B's statement "I did not do it" is TRUE.

So if A and B did not do it, C did.

This perfectly harmonizes with C's statements: "I did not do it" (FALSE), and "B does not know who it was" (TRUE, as we determined that B's statement "I know that C did it" was false).
