The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that emotions occur as a result of physiological reactions to events. According to this theory, acting as if you are not afraid (e.g., whistling) could lead to a change in physiological state, which then leads to a change in emotional state (feeling less afraid). This aligns with the scenario described in The King and I.
