Answer 1

The behavior linked to a risk for intimate partner violence among the options provided is blaming one’s partner for one’s own problems. This behavior can indicate a lack of accountability and an unhealthy dynamic in the relationship, which can contribute to conflict and potentially lead to violence.

The other options, while they might reflect other issues or stressors, do not have as direct a connection to the risk of intimate partner violence in the same way that blaming one's partner does.
