The James-Lange theory of emotions proposes that emotions are a result of physiological responses to external stimuli. According to this theory, our bodies react to a stimulus before we experience the corresponding emotion. For example, we feel afraid because we run away, rather than running away because we feel afraid. This theory suggests that emotions are not just mental states, but also involve bodily responses.
