No Theory Explains This

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: -The James-Lange theory of emotion asserts that emotions arise from physiological arousal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion was developed. According to this view, physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously, yet independently (Lang, 1994).
Detailed explanation-4: -Schachter and Singer’s theory of emotion is known as the two-factor theory. As the name suggests, this theory states that emotion is caused by two factors, physiological arousal and cognitive labelling (i.e., our perception of the cause of the arousal).
