Scenario I
Scenario I. Emotion can be defined as a positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity. The nature of this association has been intensely debated throughout the history of psychological science. An early theory of emotion was postulated by James and Lange. These psychologists argued that stimuli trigger different patterns of physiological activity in the body, and these in turn produce different emotional experiences in the brain. Contemporaneously, Cannon and Bard argued that a stimulus independently produces both physiological activity in the body and an emotional experience in the brain. Several decades later, Schachter and Singer argued that both of these theories are only partially correct. According to their two-factor theory, Schacter and Singer postulated that stimuli produce general physiological arousal which is then interpreted by the brain. Inferences about the causes of this arousal lead to an emotional experience
-(Scenario I) According to the _____, a perception of bodily arousal is NOT required to experience emotion.

The Cannon-Bard theory argues that a stimulus independently produces both physiological activity in the body and an emotional experience in the brain. It does not require a perception of bodily arousal to experience emotion, which is in contrast to the James-Lange theory. The two-factor theory, on the other hand, posits that stimuli produce general physiological arousal, which is then interpreted by the brain, leading to an emotional experience.
