In case 2, the player thought that 3NT would make and he saved in 4♣. He didn't think about doubling, since he thought that you can only double when the contract goes down. (A very common idea.)

He took a save VUL against nonVUL game that might not make holding two low clubs and 5422 hand? That is a very common idea?

I can see no realtionship to aggressiveness.
Say he is very aggressiv, but so is his partner, so he knows that there is no game avaible in Nr. 1 but he tries to increase the pot in Nr. 2.

Say he is not aggressiv, so he is afraid nothing will make in Nr 1 and 4 club is an insurance in Nr 2.

Well, in Nr. 1 partner can be aggressive as much as he wants, but you hold 7 solid diamonds, probably a good positioned king in a side suit and a singleton?
You want to say that he is aggressive but expects partner to bid his 8 tricks so he will pass?

If he is not aggressive what kind of insurance is 4♣ in Nr. 2? Aiming for +130, and risking -800 vs. -400 that has a great chance of going down?
