Components of Emotion
❖Subjective Experiences
❖ Physiological Responses
❖Behavioral Responses
All emotions begin with a subjective experience,
also referred to as a ___________
stimulus
can range from something
as simple as seeing a color to something as major
as losing a loved one or getting married.
Subjective experiences

the autonomic nervous system’s reaction to the emotion we are experiencing
physiological response i

are likely how ________________
emotion helped us evolve and survive as humans throughout history
studies have shown autonomic physiological responses are strongest when _____________ most closely resemble the expression of the emotion they’re
experiencing.
a person’s facial expressions
Tor F. facial expressions play an important role in
responding accordingly to an emotion in a physical sense.
T
the actual expression of
the emotion; can include a
smile, a grimace, a laugh or a sigh, along with
many other reactions depending on societal
norms and personality.
Behavioral Responses
Theory of Emotion that is one of the earliest emotion theories of
modern psychology; hypothesizes
that physiological stimuli (arousal) causes the autonomic nervous system to react which in turn
causes individuals to experience emotion.
James-Lange Theory
Developed by William James and
Carl Lange in the 19th century, t
According to this theory, the physiological response
comes before the emotional behavior.
James-Lange Theory
Theory of Emotion that suggests that facial expressions are crucial to experiencing emotion
Facial-Feedback Theory.
hypothesized that
facial expressions impact emotion as opposed to
their being a response to an emotion
Charles Darwin and William James
This theory holds that emotions are directly tied to physical changes in the facial muscles. Thus, someone who forced himself to smile would be
happier than someone who wore a frown.
Facial-Feedback Theory
Theory of Emotion that was developed to refute the James-Lange theory. This theory posits that bodily changes and emotions occur simultaneously instead of one right after the other.
Cannon-Bard Theory
Developed by Walter
Cannon and Philip Bard in the 1920s,
This theory is backed by neurobiological science
that says that the once a stimulating event is
detected, the information is relayed to both the
amygdala and the brain cortex at the same time.
If this holds true, arousal and emotion are a
simultaneous event.
Cannon-Bard Theory
Developed by Walter
Cannon and Philip Bard in the 1920s,
introduces the element of reasoning into the process of emotion. The theory hypothesizes
that when we experience an event that causes physiological arousal, we try to find a reason for the arousal. Then, we experience the emotion.

Singer
________________

occur before experiencing emotion. Thus, a person would first experience a stimulus, think,

associated with recognizable facial
expressions and tend to happen automatically. Charles
Darwin was the first to suggest that emotion-induced
facial expressions are universal. This suggestion was a

adaptive
