Explanation

The attribution theory proposes that emotions arise as we interpret our own behaviors, for example, feeling scared because we run away or feeling angry because we strike. This contrasts with the James-Lange theory, which suggests emotions follow physiological responses, the Canon-Bard theory which argues emotions and bodily reactions occur simultaneously, and cognitive theories focusing on mental processes.
