Answer to Question 1



Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Catharsis is the idea that being able to express or vent one's aggressive impulses will decrease their tendency to engage in aggression. Research has demonstrated that venting can actually increase subsequent aggression. Listening to violent lyrics actually increased the rate at which people would be able to pronounce aggressive words compared to nonaggressive words. Anger may actually increase during catharsis as we think about what others have done to us. Second, watching aggressive media or thinking about revenge may activate even more aggressive thoughts and feelings. This may then lead us to interpret ambiguous incidents as more hostile than we would if we had not been exposed to or thinking about aggressive things. There is little evidence that catharsis is functional. Only one outcome may be in line with the idea that catharsis is functional. There may be a momentary relief of tension if we let some aggression out, but over the long term there is no reduction in our aggressive impulses for having done so.
