James proposed that emotions are the physiological responses or (cid:498)bodily reverberations(cid:499) to stimuli in the world autonomic nervous systems, such as changes in heart rate, breathing, pupil dilation, tear secretion, blood flow to the skin, and stomach contractions. Schacter and singer reasoned that we could identify the separate roles of the interpretation and the physiological sensation only if we disentangled them. Study: researchers reasoned that participants in this condition would look to the situation to interpret their feelings and conclude that their arousal was due to their experiences in the situation. If emotions are specific biological signals that alert people to events in their world, it would follow that this biological machinery must have been assembled through evolution. Two aspects of emotions have received the most study: an objectively visible aspect, facial expressions, a subjectively experienced aspect, people"s descriptions of their emotional experiences.
