Cannon-Bard Theory
• Disagreed with James-Lange• emotions occur simultaneously in the brain and body. • The brain routes the sensory message to both at the same time.
• Cannon Bard’s theory explains how the same physiological arousal can cause different emotions.
Schacter’s Two Factor theory(AKA Two Factor, Schacter-Singer Two Factor, etc)
• Combines the other two.• physical arousal is fuel that intensifies the
emotion.• after arousal occurs, the brain then puts a label
thru cognition, deciding what the emotions should be.
Physiology of Emotion

• Glucose released• Respiration increased• Blood clotter released• Adrenaline: epinephrine, norepinephrine • Blood pressure up.

activities
Expressing Emotion• Feeling emotion and expressing emotions are two very
different things.• Much of communication is nonverbal: body, face and
gestures.
• Staring into eyes can give good “love” information.• People are very good at reading nonverbal cues. You can tell a
happy face from 100 yds.• Angry faces tend to leap out of the crowd at you.• Women are better at perceiving lies, loves, and emotional
cues.
Reading Emotions
• Introverts are better at reading nonverbal cues •extraverts are better at expressing them.•Females are better than males.
Expressiveness
•Behavior Feedback phenomenon. • Expressions not only communicate emotion but
they regulate it:
• Smiling will make you happier.•Walking boldly will make you more confident.•Pull up on your desk, push down on it, which
feels better?
Paul Ekman: Expressiveness and Culture• However, facial expressions for various expressions are universal.
(Ekman)• For instance, Japanese rarely show self-aggrandizing and negative emotions
• but likely to show happiness, as means of social glue.
