www.psychexamreview.com In this video I describe 3 different theories of emotion which attempt to explain how emotional experiences occur. The James-Lange theory proposes that a stimulus causes physiological arousal which in turn causes the emotion. The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion proposes that stimuli can simultaneously cause physiological changes and emotional experiences, and the Schachter-Singer or Two-Factor Theory of Emotion suggests that a stimulus is combined with our interpretation in order to create an emotion.
