The James–Lange theory is a psychological theory of emotion that proposes that emotions arise from physiological responses to external stimuli. According to this theory, an event causes physiological changes in the body, and it is the perception of these changes that constitutes the experience of emotion. In other words, the sequence of events according to the James–Lange theory is as follows: 1. An external stimulus (like seeing a bear) triggers a physiological response (such as increased heart rate and sweating).
