The James-Lange theory of emotion is described below.

Explanation:

  • According to James lange theory, when an individual is aware of their body's physiological arousal and emotional behavior their emotions are shown. He didn't think the idea of common sense reactions were real but that each emotion triggered a specific physiological response.
  • For instance, when someone hears breaking glass and they think someone is breaking in, their heart start pounding and they are trembling, James would argue that they are experiencing this physiological reaction because they have a feel fear or a would-be burglar. Or, if the person heard glass breaking and thought it was their roommate being careless and clumsy, they would have a pounding heart and raised blood pressure due to their subject anger, according to James.

  • James argues that the sequence of events in experiencing emotion is:  Emotion stimulus → Physiological Response Pattern → Affective Experience.
  • The theory itself emphasizes how physiological arousal, with the exclusion of emotional behavior, is the determiner of emotional feelings. It also emphasizes that each emotional feeling has a distinct, unique pattern of physiological responses associated with it. It must meet two criteria which include (a) at least two emotions should be induced and (b) the presence of any emotion should be verified using other measures such as facial expressions or verbal reports.
