Answer:     The availability heuristic

Explanation:  It is a phenomenon that can occur or be exploited as it is in this case, and is related to decision making. When making decisions, certain thoughts or images may emerge that will encourage a certain decision. As we make an important decision, many similar events or situations can spill over to the surface of our consciousness, and at that moment, encourage us to make exactly the decision we have made. That is why the availability heuristic is in fact a mental shortcut that facilitates decision making, because when making a decision, images and associations appear to us that are most similar to our situation at the time of making the decision.

It can, of course, be used, as in this case, when we want to encourage someone to make the decision that suits us, so at moment of his / her decision we remind them of the very pictures and situations that will, for example, help and encourage someone to buy expensive a homeowners insurance policy if s/he sees hurricane pictures and the like.

What disturbing quality does heathcliff exhibit in relation to his feelings for hindley?
ExtremeBDS [4]

First of all, Heatchliff does not have feelings <em>for </em>Hindley, he rather has feelings against Hindley and very strong and negative ones at that. Psychologically speaking, Heathcliff shows a very vengeful sadism against Hindley as he comes back a well off man who manipulates Hindley's gambling and drinking addictions in order to financially ruin him and have him mortgage Wuthering Heights to Heathclif in order to pay off his gambling and drinking debts. This will result in HIndley's death later in the story.
