Schachter-Singer Two-Factor theory

Explanation:

The Schachter-Singer Theory

This theory uses both the James-Lange theory and the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion.

That is, the critical factor is usually the case or situation on ground while the cognitive interpretation is what individuals use to label that emotion.

When compared to the Cannon-Bard theory, the Schachter-Singer theory also state that similar physiological responses can produce different emotions. For example, if you experience a racing heart and sweating palms during an important english exam, you may also identify the emotion as anxiety. If you experience the same physical responses on a date with your significant person, you might interpret those responses as love, affection, or arousal.
