If a person experiences a state of arousal for which they have no immediate explanation, they will label this state and describe their feelings in terms of the cognitions available to them at the time

Detailed explanation-1: -Schacter and Singer had hypothesized that if people experienced an emotion for which they had no explanation, they would then label these feelings using their feelings at the moment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Schachter and Singer found that participants uninformed about the injection’s true side effects felt either happier or angrier compared to informed participants. Since participants didn’t know the injection would affect their physiological arousal, they interpreted such reactions based on their confederate’s mood.
Detailed explanation-3: -The theory was created by researchers Stanley Schachter and Jerome E. Singer. According to the theory, when an emotion is felt, a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Overall, Schachter and Singer’s (1962) study demonstrated that people can experience misattribution of arousal because their cognitive appraisals identified the wrong eliciting event (it’s the confederate, not the shot, that is causing my arousal!).
