Question

When Alex and Jason were confronted by a dangerous snake, Alex experienced a much greater level of autonomic nervous system arousal than Jason. Yet both report ed being equally scared by the experience. If true, this fact would be most consistent with the Oa. James-Lange theory. O b. Cannon-Bard theory. Oc. two-factor theory. Od. Yerkes-Dodson law

Answer 1

Answer: option A - James-Lange theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls largely the involuntary body activities like sweating, heartbeat, breathing etc.

Alex experienced higher arousal induced by his autonomic nervous system despite being exposed to the equal external stimuli as Jason. This is perfectly described by James-Lange theory
