According to the James-Lange theory of emotion and cognitive appraisal theory, why are you afraid when you see a bear? How would the facial feedback theory explain fear in that situation?
What will be an ideal response?
The James-Lange theory says that our brains interpret specifi c physiological changes as emotions and that there is a different physiological pattern underlying each emotion. If you see a bear, "you are frightened because you run" rather than run because you are frightened.
The facial feedback theory says that the sensations, or feedback, from the movement of your facial muscles and skin are interpreted by your brain as diff erent emotions. Thus the muscles of your face change because you see a bear and you interpret the changes as fear.
