Question

Match List I with List II:

LIST I(Theory of Emotion)		LIST II(Basic Assumptions)
A	Cannon-Bard Theory	I	Emotional reactions to a stimulus are fol lowed automatically by an opposite reaction
B	James-Lange Theory	II	Emotional states are determined by the cognitive labels attached to feelings of arousal
C	Schachter-Singer Theory	III	Subjective emotional experience results from physiological changes within our body
D	Opponent Process Theory	IV	Emotion-provoking events induce simultaneous subjective experiences (labeled as emotions) and the physiological experi ences that accompany them

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)→(I), (B)→(II), (C)→(III), (D)→(IV)
• B. (A)→(IV), (B)→(III), (C)→(II), (D)→(I)
• C. (A)→(II), (B)→(I), (C)→(IV), (D)→(III)
• D. (A)→(III), (B)→(IV), (C)→(I), (D)→(II)

Hint:

Remember: James-Lange = body first, emotion second; Cannon-Bard = simultaneous; Schachter-Singer = arousal + cognitive label; Opponent Process = opposing emotions for balance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Emotion theories explain the interaction between physiological shifts and emotional states differently:

• Cannon-Bard Theory (A): Posits simultaneous, independent occurrence of physiological arousal and subjective emotional experience.
• James-Lange Theory (B): Claims emotions stem from physiological responses; for example, fear arises from trembling.
• Schachter-Singer Theory (C): Integrates physiological arousal and cognitive appraisal, stating that arousal's interpretation relies on context.
• Opponent Process Theory (D): States that emotional responses trigger opposing reactions to restore balance.
