J.T. is taking a lie detector test as part of an ongoing investigation into a recent bank robbery. The investigators hope that the polygraph will reveal any dishonesty because different patterns of physiological activity are associated with different emotions, such as guilt. The investigators most likely ascribe to ______ theory of emotion.

Respuesta :

The investigators most likely ascribe to James's Peripheral theory of emotion.

James's Peripheral theory of emotion also called the James Lange theory of emotion developed by 19th-century scholars, William James and Carl Lange explains that individuals experience emotion as a feeling of physiological changes due to a stimulus such as fear; guilt; etc.

The investigators hope that through the physiological changes occurring during investigation, they can be able to conclude exactly what J T feels(emotions) and draw conclusion as to whether he committed the crime or not.
