What is the psychological basis for the change in Kezia's image of father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Direct experience of safety

The governing psychological principle is that direct emotional experience can revise an earlier mental image. Kezia has formed a fearful picture of her father from his stern voice, formal manner, and punishment after the pin-cushion incident. During the night, however, she is frightened and receives immediate comfort and protection from him. This new experience conflicts with her old belief that he is only harsh. Consequently, she begins to see him as a tired but loving parent. Option C is correct. Macdonald provides useful comparison, but the decisive psychological change comes from personally experiencing her father’s safety and care.
