State the James-Lange theory and briefly describe evidence that supports it
What will be an ideal response?
According to the James-Lange theory, our emotional feelings result from perceptions of what our bodies are doing, especially their autonomic responses. Supporting evidence is that people with pure autonomic failure have little or no autonomic response to situations, and feel their emotions more weakly than before. Other support is that procedures to increase or decrease body responses tend to increase or decrease emotional feelings.
