Seems sensible to say it trains the psyche, and then when inhibitions are lowered the psyche acts out. E.g. Freud's theory of the id, ego and super ego or Plato's multipart soul. Media trains the id and ego with imagery and messaging, and when the super ego loses its control the id and ego take over.
