Detailed explanation-1: -The thought behind catharsis theory is that feelings build up and create pressure if not vented, in the same way air builds up in a balloon until it bursts. Releasing emotions decreases the pressure or tension in the person so they have fewer negative emotions and are less aggressive.
Detailed explanation-2: -The word catharsis comes from the Greek word katharsis, which literally translated means a cleansing or purging. According to catharsis theory, acting aggressively or even viewing aggression is an effective way to purge angry and aggressive feelings.
Detailed explanation-3: -Catharsis (from Greek , katharsis, meaning “purification” or “cleansing” or “clarification") is the purification and purgation of emotions through dramatic art, or it may be any extreme emotional state that results in renewal and restoration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Previous studies have found that “general catharsis", such as hitting sandbags, does not reduce but increases an individual’s anger feeling and aggressive behavior.
