Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously and independent of one another. In the example given, Nicole experiences arousal and fear at the same time. The James-Lange theory, on the other hand, suggests that bodily responses come before the emotional experience. Schachter's cognitive theory proposes that both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of the situation are needed to experience an emotion. Attribution theory is concerned with how people explain the causes of behavior and events.
