PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -And the two-factor theory of emotion, which Schachter and Singer developed, maintains that cognitive processing of physiological arousal must occur before we experience emotions.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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). The basic premise of the theory is that physiological arousal instigates the experience of emotion.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
