Observe the change:

> 彼女は行かないと思う。 " **I think** that she will not go"
>
> 彼女は行くまいと思う。 " **She thinks** that she will not go"

`彼女は` and `と思う` are conserved in the sentence, yet the person who is doing the
thinking is different.

**(Question 1)** Is the use of the negative volitional form the direct cause
of the change?

**(Question 2)** How do I make specific the person who is doing the thinking
in each case?  
I.e. How do I express "I think that she will not go" using 行くまい and "She
thinks that she will not go" using 行かない?
