Two-Factor Analysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The polygraph is a scientific instrument that continuously records psycho-physiological arousal as assessed by pulse rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and/or skin conductivity, which has been applied to the detection of deception.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your sympathetic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that carries signals related to your “fight-or-flight” response. That makes it a key part of your response to stressful situations.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most obvious signs of emotional arousal involve changes in the activity of the visceral motor (autonomic) system (see Chapter 21). Thus, increases or decreases in heart rate, cutaneous blood flow (blushing or turning pale), piloerection, sweating, and gastrointestinal motility can all accompany various emotions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion was developed in response to the James-Lange theory. Created by Walter B. Cannon and Philip Bard in 1927, the theory posits that emotion and physical arousal occur at the same time.

Detailed explanation-5: -The James-Lange theory of emotion asserts that emotions arise from physiological arousal.
