PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cannon-Bard theory states that the lower part of the brain, also called the thalamus, controls your experience of emotion. At the same time, the higher part of the brain, also called the cortex, controls the expression of emotion. It is believed that these two parts of the brain react simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cannon-Bard theory proposes that emotions and arousal occur at the same time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The James-Lange theory of emotion would argue that these physiological reactions are characteristic of anger. Thus, the person experiencing these symptoms may feel angry as a direct response to these reactions and behave accordingly.

Detailed explanation-5: -They agree with James-Lange that people infer emotions when they experience physiological arousal but also agree with Cannon-Bard that the same pattern of physiological arousal can give rise to different emotions.
