Participants hit a punching bag while either ruminating about the person who angered them or thinking about becoming physically fit. A third group of participants did not hit the punching bag. When given a chance to administer loud blasts of noise to the person who angered them, people in _______ condition(s) felt angrier and were more aggressive.

Respuesta :

Answer:

When given a chance to administer loud blasts of noise to the person who angered them, people in Catharsis condition(s) felt angrier and were more aggressive.

Explanation:

Catharsis is the emotional release that occurs with the method of free association. In psychoanalytic theory, this emotional release refers to the "purging" of unconscious conflicts, that is, catharsis is a method by which, during the therapy process, a patient was led to unblock repressed memories or experiences in your unconscious, generally associated with past traumatic events. In the example described, the people who felt more angry and aggressive had an affective discharge, freeing themselves of negative emotions, this because they were in a Catharsis condition.
