  1. I would summarize it as;event=you see a tiger/ the physiological response= you start to sweat and your heart races/ you experience an emotion= fear or flight response

  2. The way i think about it is that event is a stimulus tht makes you physiological response like a stiff muscle then with arousal you feel a certain way and finally you identify your emotion.

  3. In a nutshell it seems that when something happens in your life your body responds to the event with emotion. Such as when you experience a death or someone tells you about a sad event you get a physical response associated with the event, maybe you feel sick or cry depending on the event. So and event occurs, you respond physiologically and you experience an emotion associated with the event.
