Question

which is a barrier to leading a substance-free lifestyle?
○ emotional stability
○ fear of judgment
○ decreased spending
○ fewer legal problems

Explanation:

To determine the barrier to a substance - free lifestyle, we analyze each option:

• Emotional stability: This is a positive trait that would support a substance - free lifestyle, not a barrier.
• Fear of judgment: People may be afraid that others will judge them if they don't use substances (for example, in social situations where substance use is common). This fear can prevent them from leading a substance - free lifestyle.
• Decreased spending: Not using substances usually leads to spending less money, which is a benefit, not a barrier.
• Fewer legal problems: Staying away from substances reduces the chance of getting into legal trouble, which is a positive outcome, not a barrier.

Answer:

B. fear of judgment
