What theory of emotions tell us?

• Do they appen simutaneously?
Common sense theory of emotion.
The Commonsense theory states that after the stimulus has
occurred, the emotional feeling is triggered, then the physiological
arousal and behavioral responses take over
James-Lange Theory
The James-Lange theory of emotion was proposed by psychologists William James and Carl Lange.
According to this theory, as we experience different events, our nervous system develops physical reactions
to these events. Examples of these reactions include increased heart rate, trembling, upset stomach, etc.
These physical reactions in turn create emotional reactions such as anger, fear and sadness.
For example, imagine sitting in a dark room all by yourself. Suddenly you hear breathing sound behind you.
Your heart rate increases and you may even begin to tremble. You interpret these physical responses as
you are scared and so you experience fear.
Cannon-Bard Theory
The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion was developed by physiologists Walter Cannon and Philip Bard.
According to this theory, we feel the emotions and experience the physiological reactions such as
sweating, trembling and muscle tension simultaneously.
For example, you are in a dark room all by yourself and suddenly you hear breathing sound nearby.
According to the Cannon-Bard theory, your heart rate increases and you begin to tremble. While you are
experiencing these physical reactions, you also experience the emotion of fear.
Schachter-Singer Theory
The Schachter-Singer theory of emotion was developed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome E. Singer.
According to this theory, the element of reasoning plays an important role in how we experience
emotions.
The Schachter-Singer theory suggests that when an event causes physiological arousal, we try to find a
reason for this arousal. Then we experience and label the emotion.
For example, you are sitting in a dark room all by yourself and all of a sudden you hear breathing sound
behind you. Your heart rate increases and you begin to tremble. Upon noticing these physical reactions,
you realize that they come from the fact that you are all alone in a dark room. You think that you may be
in danger, and you feel the emotion of fear.
Islamic persective of emotions
Emotions are the part of bounty given to us by Allah who says.
“And that It is he who makes one Laugh and weep”
Love
Love is a natural emotion that comes in various forms and levels of intensity we may love our
parents in another way and our childs in a very different way all of these types of love are from
the bounty of Allah and they are completely acceptable and encouraged but our love for another
(human being ,or things for that matter) should never exceed our love for Allah.
Fear
True believers also fear the day of judgement and the eternal punishment in the hellfire .This
fear helps them to stay on the straight path and to avoid falling into disobedience
Hope
The believers who remember the day of judgement and hope for success and
rewards on that day will be encouraged to perform good deeds.
Hatred
We should love Allah and those who are near to him, we should hate those who
intentionally and actively oppose Allah and the religion of Islam this hatred
should be for the sake of Allah only and should not affect us in a way that allows
us to act or react irrationally.
Anger
Abu Huarah reported That the Messenger of Allah said “The strong one is not
the one who overcomes people by his strength but one who controls himself
while in anger”
