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 Review Theories Handout
On the back of the handout complete the following
Step 1: Select an emotion
Step 2: create an original poster depicting how each of the 3 theories would explain our experience of that emotion.
Think about your poster as an instructional tool. Someone who doesn’t know much about emotion theory should be able to look at it and gain understanding of what each of these theories are, as well as the emotion you are illustrating.
