Biological Psychology

Groups the theories that explain behavior, cognition or emotion through the nervous system, brain structures and physiological process. Belongs here: the Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion, the James-Lange Theory of Emotion, the Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion, the Triune Brain Theory and the Theory of Constructed Emotion. A theory of emotion whose central explanation is social rather than physiological, such as attribution-based accounts, is filed under social psychology instead.
