People expect an apology for many reasons. The "injured" party feels that an apology is recognition from the instigator that he/she did something that was not acceptable. By doing so, the "injured" party is making the instigator feel guilty, thus lowering his/her self confidence. As a result, the "injured" party feels superior and his/her confidence is increased.
