Five theories of emotion try to give explanation to the interpretation for this occurrence; however this article will envelop the James-Lange, Lazarus, and Facial Feedback Hypothesis theories with a justification of the experimental and correlation research methods. Within a human beings motivation is emotion which is a vital aspect to personality and can make humans perform in a negative or positive way. Emotions influence all humans to motivate from internal or external dynamics. Emotion is defined as "a universal, functional reaction to an external stimulus event, temporarily integrating physiological, cognitive, phenomenological, and behavioral channels that facilitate fitness-enhancing, environment-shaping responses to the current situation" (Deckers, 2010, p. 5).
Emotions are shown by behaviors, physically and cognitively by facial responses. The change in emotions is what motivates human beings to do certain tasks. William James, Lazarus, and Carl Lange started a vast assortment of research to establish what behaviors are associated with motivation and arousal in human beings.
William James and Carl Lange started the studies that were vital in discovering the explanations in behaviors concerning the arousal in human beings. Just about one hundred years later psychology studies from Cacioppo (1993) have conveyed explanations to how stimulus may make behaviors and behaviors may bring emotions.

[...] The Lazarus theory connects both arousal and emotion collectively by the thought of a person because of an occurrence. The Lazarus theory tests the taking apart of emotion and arousal. The Correlational Research Method for basic emotions works in discovering a affiliation between diverse variables. Three different conclusions of the research as in negative, positive, and no correlation can be found. If variables decrease or increase all together, a positive correlation will be symbolized. If one increase's while the other decreases, a negative correlation is symbolized. [...]
[...] When there is no kind of relationship they are measured to have no correlation. Correlational studies have different kinds such as archival research, naturalistic observation, and survey method. The situation dictates the research method used and has different negatives and positives as regards to which is the best. In dealing with emotions, all methods can be utilized to identify the association among each emotion. If research was being done on the connection among happiness and fear, the correlation method to conclude if they can affect one another or if nether have anything to do with each other, could be used.

[...] Both William James and Charles Darwin concur that the inhibition of the physical characteristics or free expression of emotions in fact feed back into the emotion itself, signifying that a grin could give grounds to the feeling of happiness and a scowl the impression of sadness (Stoker, 2009). As emotion relates to motivation following physiological countenance is understood by analyzing the event, appraisal, emotion sequence. This is in where emotion inducing circumstances are evaluated. This sequence refers to the “unfolding of an emotion that began with the evaluation of a stimulus and ended with the emotional reaction (Deckers p. There are four observations that speak on the slanted evaluation of emotion inducing conditions. [...]
