AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the closed questions used to measure physical condition was have you experienced any palpitation (consciousness of your own heart beat)? Then the ps would have to choose between four choices from ‘not at all’ to ‘an intense amount’. They were told by the experimenter that he would be back in 20 minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -According to the Schachter-Singer theory, emotions are the result of both physiological and cognitive processes. In a famous 1962 study, Schachter and Singer investigated whether people would respond differently to a shot of adrenaline depending on the context they found themselves in.

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.
