PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The two-factor theory of emotion was developed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer in the 1960’s; it is also referred to as the Schachter-Singer Theory. According to Schachter and Singer, our emotions are the product of both physical arousal and our thoughts, the result of a biological and cognitive process.

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: -The Schachter-Singer Theory, also known as the Two-Factor theory of emotion, states that 2 factors are needed to experience emotion. First, environmental stimuli elicits a physiological response. Second, we cognitively appraise this physiological activity, and try to give it the correct label.

Detailed explanation-4: -cognitive arousal theory (two factor theory) theory of emotion in which both the physical arousal and the labeling of that arousal based on cues from the environment must occur before the emotion is experienced.
