I will lecture on it the last part of class

3. Unit 8B Motivation & Emotion: Emotions, Stress, and Health
Theories of Emotion

4. Emotions
Emotions
a response of the whole organism, involving
1- physiological arousal (heart pounding)
2- expressive behaviors (walking faster)
3- conscious experience (Are they going to mug me?)
There are multiple theories about how these 3 pieces come together

5. 2 Major Controversies
1: Does the physical response come before or after the emotional experience?
Did I notice my heart racing start to panic or did I start the fell a sense of panic and then my heart started to race?
2: Does thinking always come before emotion?
Did I think about the mugging before reacting emotionally?

6. Common Sense Theory
explains the relationship between thinking and feeling.
EX: we cry because we are sad
EX: we tremble because we are afraid.
1st comes conscious awareness and then physiological responses

7. James-Lange Theory
Physiological arousal comes first and then the emotion

8. Cannon-Bard Theory
Stimulus triggers physiological arousal and emotion at the same time

9. Two-Factor Theory (Schachter & Singer)
2 pieces required to experience emotion
1)Physiological arousal
2) Mental label of that arousal

10. Today
Lets look at the last page of your packet to review the 3 theories
