The latter observation corresponds to Elbert's (2017) two pedal model of aggression (2017), according to which the repetition of aggressive behaviors leads to the transformation in time of the negative emotions, that initially accompany them, in positive emotions. At the psychological level, the representation of violent acts has increased the level of anxiety and depression of actors and viewers, and, more importantly, some of the actors who have performed violent actions in the experiment have reported positive emotions about them. Neuro-physiological results confirm the hypothesis that observing a conflicting or aggressive action creates a special attention to the approach avoidance complex necessary for survival in potentially dangerous situations. In the doctoral research The Spectacle of Violence - from Hypnotic Power to Social Responsibility, we highlighted the effects of the representation of violent action at the psycho-neurophysiological level, having as tools questionnaires of evaluation, EEG and memory tasks. Representation of violent actions is a basic component of conflict-based dramaturgy.
