Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. Defensive injuries may be a sign of abuse.
3. Lack of eye contact may be a sign of abuse.
5. Vague complaints without accompanying pathology may be a sign of abuse.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Batterers tend to be emotionally immature.
Rationale 2: Combined with low tolerance for frustration and poor impulse control, the batterer's pervasive sense of powerlessness leads him to strike out at life's inequities by abusing women.
Rationale 3: Batterers are insecure, and feel inferior, often feeling that they are undeserving of their partner.
Rationale 4: Batterers might be well respected in the community. This is important because it is one of the reasons why women are sometimes not believed or taken seriously when they seek support and assistance from friends, family members, and other resources.
Rationale 5: Extreme jealousy and possessiveness are the hallmarks of abusers.
