Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that participants who hit the punching bag while ruminating about the person who angered them felt angrier and were more aggressive when given the opportunity to administer loud blasts of noise. The non-punching bag group did not experience this increase in anger and aggression. The group that hit the punching bag while thinking about becoming physically fit was not mentioned as having any effect on anger and aggression levels.
