Yerkes-Dodson Law
for easy tasks, the higher the level of physiological or mentalarousal, the higher the performance. But if the task at hand is difficult, a higher level or arousal will only increase performance until a certainpoint.
James-Lange Theory
emotions reflect physiological states in the body;human bodies FIRST experience physical sensations, and that humans will think, act, then feel afterwards.
Cannon-Bard Theory
stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).
Facial Feedback Hypothesis
individuals' emotional experiences are influenced by their facial expressions. For example, smiling should typically make individuals feel happier, and frowning should make them feel sadder.
Schachter Singer Theory/Two Factor Theory
physiological arousal determines the strength of the emotion, while cognitive appraisal identifies the emotion label.
