    • Historical emotion theories include the James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, and Schachter and Singer two-factor theory.
    • Emotions have subtle indicators, and brain scans and EEGs reveal different brain circuits for different emotions.
    • People can detect nonverbal cues and threats and read emotional cues more easily and be more empathic.
    • Women tend to express more emotion with their faces, and people attribute female emotionality to disposition and male emotionality to circumstance.
    • Stress is the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events called stressors that we appraise as threatening or challenging.
