Detailed explanation-1: -As William James put it, “We feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble.”
Detailed explanation-2: -James (1890) presented a bold proposal in The Principles of Psychology: emotions are the sensation of bodily changes, or as he put it, “the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur IS the emotion” (Vol. 2, p.
Detailed explanation-3: -James-Lange theory of emotion (1880s) proposed that bodily changes come first and form the basis of an emotional experience. Thus, emotions are caused by bodily sensations (you become happier when you smile, you are afraid because you run).
Detailed explanation-4: -The James–Lange theory is a hypothesis on the origin and nature of emotions and is one of the earliest theories of emotion within modern psychology. It was developed by philosopher John Dewey and named for two 19th-century scholars, William James and Carl Lange (see modern criticism for more on the theory’s origin).
