Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

____ proposed a theory that described emotion as beginning with undifferentiated arousal. The specific emotional label we use to describe the arousal depends on our interpretation of the context.

A	James-Lange Theory
B	Cannon-Bard Theory
C	Schacter and Singer Theory
D	Tim Adams’ Harvard Study

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cannon-Bard theory proposes that emotions and arousal occur at the same time. The James-Lange theory proposes the emotion is the result of arousal. Schachter and Singer’s two-factor model proposes that arousal and cognition combine to create emotion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Schachter and Singer’s (1962) Two-Factor Theory of Emotion suggests that physiological arousal determines the strength of the emotion, while cognitive appraisal identifies the emotion label. So, in this theory, the “two-factor” represents physiological change and cognitive appraisal change.

Detailed explanation-3: -While the James-Lange theory proposes that emotion happens because of physiological arousal, the two-factor theory of emotion contends that there is a conscious appraisal of that physiological response that leads to the emotion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that physical changes in the body happen first, which then leads to the experience of emotion. Essentially, emotions stem from your interpretation of your physical sensations.
