1 for how you’re feeling about leaving high school soon
1 for how you feel about this class
1 for what you want to feel like as a 30 year-old.
Finally, explain each of these “blob” choices in writing on the back of the sheet 

6. Emotion
Willam James and Carl Lange came up with the James-Lange Theory of Emotion.
We feel emotion because of biological changes caused by stress.
The body changes and our mind recognizes the feeling.

7. Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion
Say James-Lange theory is full of crap.
How can that be true if similar physiological changes correspond with drastically different emotional states.
The physiological change and subjective experience of emotion must occur simultaneously.

8. Two-Factor Theory of Emotion
To experience emotion one must
Be physically aroused
Cognitively label the arousal
People who are already physiologically aroused experience more intense emotions than unaroused people when both groups are exposed to the same stimuli.
Biology and Cognition interact with each other to increase the experience.
