Which theory of emotion proposes that stimuli cause physiological changes in our bodies and emotions result directly from those physiological changes?
A) Cannon-Bard
B) James-Lange
C) two-factor theory of emotion
D) emotional dialect
Answer: B
Rationale: According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, our physiological reactions to stimuli (the racing heart) precede and give rise to the emotional experience (the fear). In the two-factor theory, physical arousal does proceed the subjective emotional experience, but the physiological response does not directly lead to the emotion. Instead, it must be first cognitively appraised.
