1. ________ This phase is the most violent and the shortest, usually lasting up to 24 hours.
2. ________ In this phase, the man's tolerance for frustration is declining.
3. ________ In this phase, the batterer becomes extremely loving, kind, and contrite.
The correct order is 2, 1, 3
Rationale: In her classic studies of battered women and their relationships, Walker identified a cycle of predictable behaviors that are repeated over time. The behaviors can be divided into three distinct phases that vary in time and intensity both within the same relationship and among different couples.
1. Tension building phase. In this phase, the man's tolerance for frustration is declining.
2. Acute battering incident phase. This phase is the most violent and the shortest, usually lasting up to 24 hours.
3. Honeymoon phase. In this phase, the batterer becomes extremely loving, kind, and contrite.
