Answer: You experience physiological changes followed by a feeling of happiness.

Explanation:The theory states that emotion is equivalent to the range of physiological arousal affected by external events. Furthermore, James Lange theory explains that our emotions are affected by our interpretation of bodily reactions. However, James and Lange both believed that, when an event occurs, our body reacts to it and then we feel emotion after the brain interprets that physiological change.
