Question

Evidence that emotion follows physiological arousal would be most consistent with the ____________. Evidence that emotion follows the placement of a cognitive label on physiological arousal would be most consistent with the ____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete. Here are the missing options:

• A. relative deprivation principle; adaptation-level principle
• B. adaptation-level principle; relative deprivation principle
• C. James-Lange theory; two-factor theory
• D. two-factor theory; James-Lange theory

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The James-Lange theory of emotion states that emotions are the consequence of physiological reactions. For example, before riding a rollescoaster your body might start trembling and your heart-rate may increase. These symptoms will make you feel nervous.

In contrast, the two-factor theory states that after we experience the physiological symtpoms, we label the emotions according to the environment. For example, feeling scared and excited share similar physiological responses. However, if we experience increased blood pressure or dilated eyes when facing a dangerous situation, we will recognise the emotion as fear and not excitement.

Full question

Evidence that emotion follows physiological arousal would be most consistent with the _____. Evidence that emotion follows the placement of a cognitive label on physiological arousal would be most consistent with the _____.

A. relative deprivation principle; adaptation-level principle

B. adaptation-level principle; relative deprivation principle

C. James-Lange theory; two-factor theory

D. two-factor theory; James-Lange theory

The James-Lange theory suggests that emotions are the result of physical changes in the body. According to James and Lange, emotions consist of the body’s physical responses to something in the environment. When you witness something emotional, this leads to changes in the body. For example, your heart rate or blood pressure might increase, you might start sweating, or you might start breathing more quickly.

The two-factor theory of emotion, states that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive label. According to the theory, when an emotion is felt, a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousal.

For example, imagine playing a physically demanding game like lawn tennisl. As soon as you are done with the game (and you are hot, your heart is racing, etc., which is the state of arousal) someone gives you some bad news. In response, you get angry (l the emotion call it anger), and feel that anger. The question is, would you have gotten less angry about this news if you were not aroused from playing lawn tennis? According to two- factor theory, you are probably going to be more angry in the aroused state than if you got the news in a less aroused state.
