What theory is the proposition that emotion and physiological reactions occur simultaneously?

PSY 1303 - EXAM 3 REVIEW

Chapter 9: Motivation and Emotion.

Motivation is to reduce drives. The force that moves people to behave, think and feel the way they do.

Drive: Aroused state that occurs due to physiological need.

Need: Deprivation that energizes drive to reduce or eliminate that deprivation.

Homeostasis: Body’s tendency to maintain equilibrium.

Incentive: Determined by rewards and punishments for engaging in behavior.

Sexual orientation: The direction of an individual’s erotic interests, today viewed as a continuum from

exclusive male-female relations to exclusive same-sex relations.

The mystery of sexual orientation:

Heterosexual – Bisexual – Homosexual: Flexibility.

Theories explaining homosexuality:

Freud.

Behaviorists.

Biological.

Interactionist.

The element of emotional experience:

Cognitive component – evaluative: Subjective conscious experience.

Physiological component: autonomic arousal (nervous system).

Behavioral component: Expressed through our face.

Facial expressions of emotion are not always visually apparent.

James-Lange theory: The theory that emotion results from physiological states triggered by stimuli in

the environment.

Stimulus Physiological reaction Emotion.

Each emotion has distinct set of physiological changes.

Stimulus (Beat) Perception (Danger) Arousal (Pounding heart) Subjective experience (Fear).

Cannon-Bard theory: The proposition that emotion and physiological reactions occur simultaneously.

Stimulus Physiological reaction and emotion.

Which theory of emotion states that physiological?

The James-Lange theory of emotion postulates that emotions occur as a result of physical responses to events (physiological responses to stimuli directly cause subjective feelings).

Which theory of emotion emphasizes the simultaneous experience of body response and emotional feeling?

What is this? The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).

What is the James

The James-Lange theory suggests that emotions are the result of physical changes in the body. According to James and Lange, our body's responses to an emotional event—such as a racing heart rate or sweating, for example—are what make up our emotional experience.

Which theory of emotion includes a simultaneous arousal?

The Cannon-Bard theory maintains that emotional experience occurs simultaneous to and independent of physiological arousal.
