*Schachter-Singer Theory (Two-Factor Theory of Emotion)* _The Schachter-Singer Theory, developed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer, proposes that emotions result from the interaction of two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive labeling._ Key Components 1. *Physiological Arousal*: A state of heightened physiological activity, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. 2. *Cognitive Labeling*: The process of assigning a label or meaning to the physiological arousal, based on environmental cues. Key Points 1. *Two-Factor Theory*: Emotions result from the combination of physiological arousal and cognitive labeling. 2. *Arousal + Label = Emotion*: The theory proposes that emotions are determined by the interaction of physiological arousal and the cognitive label assigned to that arousal. Applications 1. *Emotional Experience*: Understanding the Schachter-Singer Theory can inform our understanding of emotional experience and the role of cognition in emotion. 2. *Emotional Regulation*: Recognizing the importance of cognitive labeling can help us develop strategies to regulate and manage emotions.
