Describe two major cognitive theories of emotion and demonstrate their theoretic

•   The James-Lange theory of emotion proposes that emotions result from our interpretations of our bodily reactions to stimuli. People experience an emotion because they observe their physiological and behavioral reactions to a stimulus.
•   The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion proposes that an emotion-provoking event leads simultaneously to an emotion and to bodily reactions.
•   The two-factor theory of emotion proposes that emotions are produced by two consecutive events: 1) people experience an undifferentiated state of arousal after encountering an emotion-provoking event; and 2) people label the arousal with an emotion to explain the cause of it. The explanations people attach to their arousal are emotions.
