Question

current attempt in progress
which of the following theories of emotion states that the physiological arousal and experience of emotion occur simultaneously (at the same time)?
o james-lange theory
o cannon-bard theory
o schachter and singers two-factor theory
o maslows hierarchical theory

Explanation:

• James - Lange theory: States that physiological arousal leads to the experience of emotion (e.g., you see a bear, your heart races (arousal), then you feel fear (emotion)).
• Cannon - Bard theory: Argues that physiological arousal and the experience of emotion occur simultaneously. For example, when you see a threat, your brain sends signals to both make your body aroused (e.g., increased heart rate) and make you feel the emotion (e.g., fear) at the same time.
• Schachter and Singer’s two - factor theory: Posits that emotion is based on physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. First, there is arousal, then you interpret the situation (cognitive label) to experience the emotion.
• Maslow’s hierarchical theory: Is about human needs (e.g., physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, self - actualization) and not directly about the relationship between physiological arousal and emotion experience.

Answer:

Cannon - Bard theory
