Agenda – Wednesday, April 2nd M&E Reading Quiz Lie Detector Test Theories of Emotion
Notes Examples
Homework: Exam #4 FRIDAY
Can we detect a liar? 3 Volunteers will try to lie to the class. They can either take or not take a dollar
from an envelope & must successfully lie to us to keep the dollar & gain a candy bar (Woohoo! Extrinsic Motivators!)
They will enter the class at the same time & must answer any (reasonable) question that we ask of them to help us discern if they are lying or not.
Facial Expression of Emotion Paul Ekman (yellow sheet) had people from
different cultures identify various facial expressions & found they all responded similarly.
Ekman had the Fore Tribe in New Guinea match up photographs of facial expressions to events in stories. Same results as first study.
Some Facial Expressions are universal indicators of emotion.
James-Lange Theory Physiological experience comes first,
followed by emotion
Examples: We feel sad because we cry We feel happy because we smile
Cannon-Bard Theory Emotions and physiological experiences
happen at the same time as one another
Two-Factor Theory Emotions come AFTER the combination
of physical arousal and cognitive awareness

James-Lange Theory of Emotion
Physiological Arousal and THEN Emotion Ex. We feel sad because we cry. Ex. We feel happy because we smile.
Problems: 1) Some Emotions have same physiological response. (Ex. Fear, Anger, & Sexual Arousal all Similar)
2) People can experience arousal w/o experiencing emotion. (Running)
3) Physiological responses happen to slow to cause emotion. 4) What about people with spinal cord injuries?
Emotions are the combination of physical arousal & a cognitive label.
When you are aroused, you look to your environment for an explanation of the arousal.
(If aroused while in a mob of protestors, you might label your arousal “Anger”) (If aroused at a concert, you might label your arousal “Excitement)
