Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if you were to see a venomous snake in your backyard, the Schachter–Singer theory argues that the snake would elicit sympathetic nervous system activation (physiological arousal) that would be cognitively labeled as fear (cognition) based on the context.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stanley Schachter, a famous psychologist, proposed the two-factor theory of emotions, which said that people label their emotions according to their environment and their physiological cues. So, for example, when your heart started racing and your palms began to sweat, you needed to know why you felt that way.
Detailed explanation-4: -Suppose you are walking in the woods, and you see a grizzly bear. You begin to tremble, and your heart begins to race. The James-Lange theory proposes that you will interpret your physical reactions and conclude that you are frightened ("I am trembling. Therefore I am afraid.")
