Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two-factor theory, proposed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer, states that emotion results from the cognitive labeling of our physiological arousal, combined with the interpretation of environmental cues. This theory suggests that our physiological response to a stimulus (such as increased heart rate and sweating) first leads to a non-specific arousal state, which is then interpreted and labeled within a particular emotional context based on environmental cues.
