Here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by traffic laws or more [Man stood in the middle of traffic]

00:08

like traffic suggestion through all right Joe's walking across the street and his

00:12

heart starts to race as a car comes zooming toward him when he reaches the

00:15

other side of the street he realizes that he was fearful that the car was going to

00:18

hit him which of the following theories explained Joe's behavior and here's

00:22

potential answers all right [mumbling] alright well there are several [a spider web]

00:27

different theories of our body's physical responses to external events

00:31

are linked to emotions such as fear personally we find that walking into a [two guys walk into a spider web and scream]

00:35

spider web triggers a pretty immediate physical and emotional response but er,

00:39

different story there. Is Joe's behavior explained by A cannon-bard theory, well

00:44

canon-bard theory states that we feel emotions like fear and experience [boy running and jumping into a pool]

00:49

psychological reactions like rapid heartbeat, simultaneously the question

00:53

tells us that Joe's heart began beating faster while he was in the street but [Joe crossing the road as a car zooms past]

00:57

the realization of fear came after he had crossed so not simultaneously cross

01:03

off A.. Is his behavior explained by B james-lange theory well james-lange

01:08

theory states that people feel emotion because they perceive their body's [Boy crying and thinking he must be sad]

01:12

physiological responses to an event well this one is close but it didn't take into account

01:16

that Joe didn't recognize the fact that he was feeling fear until after he had [Joe working in a lab]

01:21

crossed the street and thought about it so we can cross off B from our list. We

01:25

can also cross off D and E because William James and Carl Lange are the ones

01:30

who you know came up with the James-Lange theory of emotion just wasn't

01:34

a very clever name. Alright leaving us with C Schacter-Singer theory this

01:39

is because she actor singer is a cognitive theory of emotion meaning a [Two guys walking through a park]

01:43

person must think about their physiological state before emotion can

01:46

be recognized the question tells us that Joe comes to the realization of fear

01:50

after he crosses the street and thinks about his heart beating fast, so the

01:53

correct answer is C although in our opinion we probably could've avoided the [Joe wearing headphones crossing the street]

01:57

problem altogether if Joe had just learned to look both ways before crossing.
