Theories of Emotional Response

Theories of emotional response explore how we experience and express emotions. One key theory is the James-Lange theory, which suggests that our emotions arise from physical reactions to stimuli (like racing hearts leading to feeling fear). Another is the Cannon-Bard theory, which argues that emotions and physical reactions happen simultaneously. Then there's the Schachter-Singer theory, which states that we identify our emotions based on our physical responses and the context. Overall, these theories help us understand the complex interplay between our feelings, body, and the situations we encounter.
