Answer to Question 2

a . All theories concern how the mind's interpretation corresponds to the body's (automatic) reaction to a stimulus.
b. James-Lange: Following the emotion-triggering stimulus, the bodily processes associated with emotion come first, and the mind's perception of these processes then creates the subjective feeling of emotion (We feel sorry because we cry, angry because we laugh...)
i. Little empirical support
ii. The body seemed to have a similar response across all emotions
c. Schachter-Singer: Emotion has two components: a bodily state of arousal and a cognitive label that identifies the arousal as corresponding to a particular emotion (based on comprehension of situation)
i. Empirically supported
ii. Allows for misattribution of emotion
