Shawna has just gone through a break-up with her arrogant and selfish boyfriend. while hitting the punching bag in her kickboxing class, she imagines that she is punching her boyfriend’s head. shawna believes that engaging in the relatively harmless pursuit of hitting the punching bag will drain the energy from her more violent tendencies (like her temptation to slit the tires of his car or to break his legs). research on the idea of catharsis suggests that hitting the punching bag will make shawna feel more aggressive toward her ex-boyfriend. hitting the punching bag will reduce shawna’s "hot-blooded" aggressive intent. the good feelings shawna derives from hitting the punching bag will be replaced by feelings of guilt and shame, which will make her less likely to engage in aggression in the future. hitting the punching bag will be a more successful technique for shawna’s attempt to reduce future aggression than would distracting herself by going out and having fun with other friends.

Ответ:
Hitting the punching bag will make Shawna feel more aggressive toward her ex-boyfriend.
Explanation:
Catharsis refers to a reduction in the impulse to act aggressively, which is believed to be a result of an imaginary, perceived, or real act of violence. The first concept of catharsis combined two steps: a reduction of physiological arousal, followed by a decrease in aggressiveness. Later, that concept was questioned by studies that suggested that getting involved in or even observing aggression may increase feelings of aggression.
