This is a little slantwise but related ...
In his wonderful book "The Art of Failure", Jesper Juul tackles the question of "why people play video games when -- in a great proportion of them -- i) you fail a lot, all the time; and ii) failure is an emotion that normally humans seek to avoid at all costs"
In the process of exploring that psychology, he talks at one point about horror movies -- which have similar dynamics: They stir emotions we normally seek to minimize
