One example of the James-Lange theory is negative emotional biasing. The theory posits that the experience of emotion leads to the sensations that are associated with that emotion. For example, when a person sees a frightening animal. They might feel their heart racing and their skin crawling, which would then cause them to feel afraid. The James-Lange theory has been criticized because it does not consider cognitive factors such as expectations and interpretations. Additionally, there is evidence that the body can produce feelings without accompanying emotions (as in the case of certain pain sensations). But, the theory continues to have some support among researchers.
