Detailed explanation-1: -The James-Lange theory states that stimulating events trigger a physical reaction. The physical reaction is then labeled with a corresponding emotion. For example, if you run into a snake, your heart rate increases. James-Lange theory suggests that the increase in heart rate is what makes us realize we’re afraid.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. For example, your heart beating wildly would lead you to realize that you are afraid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Cannon-Bard theory maintains that emotional experience occurs simultaneous to and independent of physiological arousal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stanley Schachter, a famous psychologist, proposed the two-factor theory of emotions, which said that people label their emotions according to their environment and their physiological cues. So, for example, when your heart started racing and your palms began to sweat, you needed to know why you felt that way.
