Question

According to ________, emotion results from physiological states triggered by stimuli in the environment. Essentially, the theory proposes that after the initial perception of a stimulus, the experience of the emotion results from the perception of one's own physiological changes.
a) The two-factor theory of emotion
b) James-Lange Theory of emotion
c) Cannon-Bard Theory
d) None

Answer 1

Answer:     B) James-Lange Theory of emotion

Explanation:  In essence, this theory proposes that the emotions and physiological change that occurs in the body due to external event, stimuli etc., do not occur simultaneously. According to this theory, physiological changes first occur in response to an external stimulus, and a certain emotion occurs in response to these physiological changes. The emotion thus arose in fact as an interpretation of the physiological response to stimuli from the environment.
