Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which theory states that emotion results from a cognitive interpretation of our bodily arousal?
A
adaption-level
B
opponent-process
C
Cannon-Bard
D
Two-Factor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The two-factor theory of emotion states that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive label. The theory was created by researchers Stanley Schachter and Jerome E.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fusion version of cognition-arousal theory posits that emotions are novel mental states that arise from appraisal and arousal through a process of mental integration or fusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -In misattribution of arousal, a person thinks they are feeling an emotion because of a cause that is not actually the cause. Misattribution of arousal is possible in the two-factor theory of emotion, because the physiological arousal is not specific and is dependent on the immediate environment for identification.
