Answer: If true, this fact would be most consistent with the JAMES-LANGE THEORY.

Explanation: The James-Lange theory proposes that the experience of emotions is incited by psychological arousals.

This theory was developed independently by two 19th-century scholars namely William James and Carl Lange. This theory explains that emotions are experienced after the brain's reaction to an information received through the nervous system. In simpler terms emotions are caused by our interpretation of bodily reactions.

Alex and Jason felt the same psychological arousal although not in the same proportions but reported the same end result. Being scared. This is consistent with the James-Lange theory.
