Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Katrina's decreased frequency of calling home and excitement about her new friends and clubs suggest that her need for affiliation has been met. She no longer feels as homesick and connected to her family because she has found connections with peers at school. While her drive to succeed and sense of achievement may also be factors, they are not as directly related to her communication with home.
