Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As William James put it, “We feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble” (James, 1884, p. 190).
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, while, according to the James-Lange theory of emotion, an afraid person may say, “I am afraid because I am trembling, ‘’ that same person would say, “I am afraid because I have consciously assessed that I am trembling and this is a response to fear.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The James-Lange theory asserts that emotions arise as a function of physiological arousal. The Cannon-Bard theory maintains that emotional experience occurs simultaneous to and independent of physiological arousal.
