– Major theories of emotion include:
– **James-Lange theory:** Emotions arise from physiological arousal; we feel emotions because of physiological reactions to events.
– **Cannon-Bard theory:** Emotions and physiological responses occur simultaneously but independently; emotional experiences and bodily responses are separate.
– **Schachter-Singer two-factor theory:** Emotions involve physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation; emotions are determined by both physiological arousal and the cognitive appraisal of the situation.
