Detailed explanation-1: -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!).
Detailed explanation-2: -Participants who were injected with adrenalin were then put into one of the three conditions: informed, misinformed or ignorant. The fourth condition consisted of those participants who had received the placebo injection.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Schachter and Singer’s (1962) Two-Factor Theory of Emotion suggests that physiological arousal determines the strength of the emotion, while cognitive appraisal identifies the emotion label. So, in this theory, the “two-factor” represents physiological change and cognitive appraisal change.
