Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the theory of misattribution of arousal, when people experience an arousing event, they may not necessarily attribute their arousal to the actual source of the arousal. Instead, they may transfer that arousal to another situation or stimulus that is present at the same time. For example, someone who experiences arousal while riding a rollercoaster may attribute that arousal to the person they are with or the food they ate before the ride, leading to increased attraction or aversion to those things.
