Question

jasson’s face gets flushed and his heart beats fast every time he walks into his physics class. however, jasson has never really liked science, so he does not think that his reaction is due to the class. instead, he decides that he must be attracted to his lab partner. jasson’s misattribution of his arousal in an attempt to explain the excitement he feels is consistent with which theory of emotion?

Answer 1

Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion

Explanation:

The Schachter-Singer theory of emotion states that, while physical arousal plays a primary in emotions, this arousal alone could not be responsible for emotional responses. Therefore, the theory analyzes the interaction between the physical arousal and how we cognitively label that arousal. Therefore, in order to feel the emotion, the arousal is not enough. We also need to identify it and label it.
