What hypothesis states that we can vent anger through aggressive action or fantasy?

The catharsis hypothesis maintains that “releasing' aggressive energy (through action or fantasy) relieves aggressive urges.

What is the catharsis hypothesis?

Catharsis Theory. The theory of catharsis is one popular and authorita- tive statement that venting one's anger will produce a positive improvement in one's psychological state. The word catharsis comes from the Greek word katharsis, which literally translated means a cleansing or purging.

Which theory of emotion best explains your emotional outbursts?

The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that physical changes in the body happen first, which then leads to the experience of emotion. Essentially, emotions stem from your interpretation of your physical sensations. For example, your heart beating wildly would lead you to realize that you are afraid.

Which theory says the rage and heart pounding happen together?

The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).
