Darwinian
Cannon-Bard
James-Lange
Schachter-Singer two-factor
Solution
Answer
The answer is Cannon-Bard.
Explanation
Option 1: Darwinian
The Darwinian theory of emotion is not specifically about the relationship between emotional experience and physiological arousal. Instead, it focuses on the evolutionary basis of emotions, suggesting that emotions have evolved to serve adaptive functions.
Option 2: Cannon-Bard
The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion posits that emotional experience and physiological arousal occur simultaneously and independently. According to this theory, when an emotion-provoking event occurs, the thalamus sends signals to both the cortex (resulting in the emotional experience) and the autonomic nervous system (resulting in physiological arousal) at the same time.
Option 3: James-Lange
The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that physiological arousal precedes the emotional experience. According to this theory, an event causes physiological changes, and the perception of these changes leads to the experience of emotion.
Option 4: Schachter-Singer two-factor
The Schachter-Singer two-factor theory of emotion proposes that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive labeling. According to this theory, physiological arousal occurs first, and then the individual must identify a reason for this arousal to experience and label the emotion.
