Answer: James-Lange Theory

Explanation: James-Lange Theory was formulated by two scientists; psychologist William James and physiologist Carl Lange.

They propose that physiological arousal or bodily responses (such as increased respiration, sweating, increased heart beat and blood pressure) comes first before an emotion is experienced.
