Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schachter and Singer's two-factor theory of emotion proposes that before emotion occurs, there must be both physiological arousal and a cognitive interpretation or labeling of that arousal. The correct choice is C, which includes both factors. A is incorrect because "fight or flight" is not a necessary component of the theory. B is incorrect because "behavior" is not one of the factors proposed by the theory. D is incorrect because it has the order of the factors reversed.
