The James-Lange theory proposes that emotions arise from experiencing physiological reactions to environmental stimuli first, and then recognizing and labeling the emotion that results from those reactions. In this scenario, the individual would see the child, experience bodily arousal (such as an increased heart rate and sweating), and then recognize their emotional state of fear.
