Respuesta :

The following psychological theories concludes Bill's experiences:

  • Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
  • James-Lange theory.
  • Cannon-Bard theory.
  • Schachter-Singer two-factor theory.

What are psychological theories?

They are systems of  ideas that can explain certain aspects of human thoughts, behaviors and emotions.

Bill's ability to pursue a college education can be put into perspective through the lens of Mas-low's hierarchy of needs.

His basic needs of food, shelter and water were met, allowing him to pursue higher needs like the need for belonging, esteem and self-actualization which might be met by attending college.

When bill got his acceptance letter, his heart began to race and according to James-Lange's theory of emotions, this sign of psychological arousal causes (is identical to) Bill's feeling of excitement or nervousness.

The Cannon-Bard theory of emotions shows that Bill feels physiological arousal at the same time that he experiences emotions of excitement or nervousness, thought the two emotions are independent of  each other.  

The Schachter-Singer two factor theory combines Bill's reaction into two-step process:

  • First, he feels physiological arousal ( heart racing and increased breathing).
  • Second, he interprets that arousal is as a result of excitement or nervousness.

In this model, arousal and cognition combine to produce emotion.
