THEORIES OF EMOTION

1) James-Lange Theory(1890) It was mentioned in Taylor, 1999. According to this theory individual

emotional responses are due to

physiological changes in the humanbody. The brain recognizes an event and

sends the message to other areas ofthe brain.

This action produces response andthese responses bring out emotionalresponse.

This theory suggests thatphysiological behaviors take placebefore emotions.

RELATIONSHIP OF GENDER WITH EMOTION

Many research findings have proved that women are more emotional than men. (e.g.Broverman, Vogel, Broverman, Clarkson, & Rosenkrantz, 1972; Widiger & Settle, 1987).It is supposed that women go through more frequent and strong emotions whereasmen do not express their emotions and go through less solid emotional experiences.Researchers have suggested that adult males express less emotions as compared to a

child male because males learn to control their emotions as they grow older (Fabes andMartin, 1991).
