According to the , seeing a crocodile in the swamp would lead simultaneously to both the emotion fear and running away at the same time. However, the would suggest that people are afraid because they run away.

Cannon-Bard theory of emotion; James-Lange theory of emotion.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, if an individual sees a crocodile in the swamp he may be lead to feel fear whilst running away at the same time.  This is explained by the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion. But, on the opposite side, we have the James-Lange theory of emotion which states that the individual would be afraid because they are, in fact, running away. Basically, the Cannon-Bard theory states that we feel physiological consequences (such as sweat, accelerated heart rate, etc.) when we feel emotions, whereas the James-Lange theory states the opposite: we feel an emotion when we have the physiological effect (we feel fear because we are running, sweating, with our hearth accelerated, etc.).
