Detailed explanation-1: -The James–Lange theory proposes that emotional stimuli first induce peripheral physiological variations, which occur without consciousness of affect. These bodily responses are further interpreted by the brain to produce the feeling state of an emotion (Critchley, 2009).
Detailed explanation-2: -We have experiences, and as a result, our autonomic nervous system creates physiological events such as muscular tension, heart rate increases, perspiration, dryness of the mouth, etc. This theory proposes that emotions happen as a result of these, rather than being the cause of them.
Detailed explanation-3: -LINDSLEY’s ACTIVATION THEORY OF EMOTION Lindsley’s (7) “activation theory” of emotion retains the basic framework ofthe Cannon-Bard but expands it to include the reticular activating system. The theory relates not only to emotional but also to cortical arousal, sleep-wakefulness, and certain types of abnormal behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, the conscious experience of emotion results from one’s perception of autonomic arousal.
