24 2. James-Lange theory

25 2. James-Lange theory Testing the theory: Hypothesis 1: You need the body in order to feel emotions. Test: Interview people with high vs. low spinal cord injuries High spinal cord injury: Sometimes I act angry... But it doesn t have the heat to it that it used to. It s a mental kind of anger.
