I believe the answer is: James-Lange

According to James-Lange, Emotions are created through the instigation fo physiological arousal.

He argued that by physiologically acting a certain way, our body would send a signal to our nervous system on the type of emotion that we need/desire and the nervous system would comply by creating that specific emotion.
