The spillover effect notes that when physiologically aroused, we often take-on the emotional label of the people or events around us. This best supports which theory of emotion?

A	James-Lange Theory
B	Cannon-Bard Theory
C	Schachter Two-Factor Theory
D	No Theory Explains This

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In a study by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer in 1962, subjects experienced a spillover effect when arousal was caused by injections of what turned out to be adrenaline.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cannon-Bard theory maintains that emotional experience occurs simultaneous to and independent of physiological arousal.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the Schachter-Singer theory of emotion, developed in 1962, there are two key components of an emotion: physical arousal and a cognitive label. In other words, the experience of emotion involves first having some kind of physiological response which the mind then identifies.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Schacter–Singer theory, emotion results from the interaction between two factors: physiological arousal and cognition. More specifically, this theory claims that physiological arousal is cognitively interpreted within the context of each situation, which ultimately produces the emotional experience.
