Chapter 13: Emotion
Emotions are a mix of physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience, including thoughts and feelings. With emotions, there are 3 different theories. The first one is James-Lange theory, is states that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotional-rousing stimuli. The next one is the Cannon-Bard theory. The theory that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers physiological responses and the subjective experience of emotion. The last one is Schacter-Singer's theory. This theory is that to experience emotion one must be physically aroused and cognitively label the arousal.
