Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Schachter-Singer theory suggests that emotions are a result of two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. In this scenario, the physical arousal of climbing 354 steps would be similar in both Terrence and Rose, and they both interpret this arousal as being in love with each other.
