Jan van Hoo analyzed how the "relaxed open-mouth display" in chimps evolved into this type of face to signal mockaggressionrather than a real Âfight. A story offered as an example of this concept describes prison guards who allow a convict toplay cards with them, but, when they catch him cheating, kick him out of prison. An essay claims that this action arises whenone sees machine-like movement in the human body and argues that it operates as a "social reaction which punishes" and correctsdeviant behavior. Another essay argues that this phenomenon releases nervous energy in safe physical movements that"have no object," and an examination of "Der Witz" argues that it releases the psychic energy of repressed emotions. SchopenhauerdefiÂned it as "the sudden perception of the incongruity between a concept and the real objects," and Herbert Spencerwrote a study on the "physiology" of this behavior that offers a representative view of the relief theory of this concept. For 10points, name this behavior that titles a Henri Bergson essay "on the meaning of the comic."
