Schachter-Singer (Two Factor Theory)
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -What Is the Two-Factor Theory? The two-factor theory of emotion focuses on the interaction between physical arousal and how we cognitively label that arousal. In other words, simply feeling arousal is not enough; we also must identify the arousal in order to feel the emotion.
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: -The Schachter-Singer theory explains that emotion is formed from physiological arousal and a cognitive label. This theory also explains that a person’s emotional response is formed from an interpretation of their immediate environment.
