Seeing a snake, and then simultaneously running away from it and becoming frightened is the sequence of events postulated by ________ theory.

A) Plutchik's
B) the James-Lange
C) the Cannon-Bard
D) Schachter and Singer's

The Cannon-Bard theory suggests that the experience of an emotion involves the simultaneous activation of both physiological responses and subjective feelings, rather than one causing the other. In the case of encountering a snake and becoming frightened, according to the Cannon-Bard theory, both the physiological response (such as increased heart rate and sweating) and the subjective feeling of fear would occur simultaneously.
