Research on the two-factor theory of emotion supports which of the following conclusions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two-factor theory of emotion, proposed by Schachter and Singer, suggests that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive labeling of that arousal. According to this theory, an emotion is felt when an individual experiences physiological arousal and then identifies a reason for this feeling, leading to the identification of the emotion. Choice D, "Adrenaline makes the heart grow fonder," aligns with this theory because adrenaline is a hormone associated with physiological arousal. The idea is that if someone experiences arousal (e.g., from adrenaline) in the presence of another person, they might cognitively label this arousal as attraction or fondness towards that person, hence the connection to the theory.
