Because this is how the moon cycle works:
MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon
EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon.
So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?

Why do lunar eclipses happen at night?
When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky.

'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?

Why do we not see the moon during full moon?
The only reasons why you wouldn't be able to see the full moon would be that either it is daytime (the full moon rises at sunset, and sets at sunrise), or it is during totality of a lunar eclipse, or your eyes are closed. The full moon is the brightest thing in the night sky. It's almost possible to read by it.
