The Social Readjustment Rating Scale
The Social Readjustment Rating Scale
If your score is 300 or more, statistically you stand an almost 80% chance of getting sick in the near future. If you score is 150 to 299, the chances are about 50%. At less than 150, about 30%. This scale seems to suggest that change in one’s life requires an effort to adapt and then an effort to regain stability.

Discussion
• Imagine you are walking alone late at night and hear footsteps behind you. Think about your emotional reaction to this situation. Consider the major theories of emotion: James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, and Schacter-Singer theory. From the perspective of these major theories of emotion, describe how each would predict the sequence of events that would occur as you experience a reaction to this situation.
• Top Priority• Emphasis on what might come before an
emotion.• SecondPriority• Emphasis on the role of thinking in how one
feels an emotion.
• Focus on:– Sequence of events creating your emotional
reaction for all three theories– When and why we have emotional responses– Role of cognition (thinking) in emotional
responses
James-Lang
• Hear footsteps• Physiological reaction / autonomic arousal
– E.g. Increased heart rate• Emotion ( e.g. fear)
Cannon-Bard
• Hear footsteps• Physiological reaction + Emotion
simultaneously
Schacter-Singer
• Hear footsteps• Physiological reaction• Cognitive label about the situation• Emotion
What are the three theories of emotion?
