Comparing Theories of Emotion
Captions available
The idea
Comparing emotion theories means running one episode through each account and identifying where their predictions diverge.
In practice
One episode — a sudden loud bang in a quiet office — run through all four theories in order, each stating what happens first, what causes what, and what it predicts about a person with reduced autonomic feedback. Ends by naming the one prediction on which the theories genuinely differ and could be tested apart.
