Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zajonc's theory suggests that emotional reactions can occur without cognitive appraisal, meaning that Leslie's scream was a direct and immediate response to the painful stimulus of burning her fingers on the stove, without any conscious evaluation of the situation. Lazarus's theory suggests that cognitive appraisal is necessary for the experience and expression of emotion, so Leslie's behavior does not support his ideas.
