A babysitter, Rita, has put the children to sleep. It is dark and quiet in the house. Rita hears what sounds like a doorknob turning an hour before the parents are expected to be home, making her think that perhaps a stranger is trying to break into the house. According to Lazarus's cognitive-mediational theory, how would Rita experience an emotion in this situation?
◦ She would first go to the door to see what is causing the doorknob to turn. If the parents are home early, she would feel relieved, but if it were a stranger, she would feel afraid.
◦ She would immediately feel her heart beat faster, her hands would begin to shake, and then she would feel afraid.
◦ She would feel afraid, causing her heart to beat faster and her hands to begin to shake.
◦ She would feel afraid at the same time her heart begins to beat faster and her hands begin to shake.
