Schachter's two-factor theory claims that individual labels emotions based on how they are interpreted.
What is Schachter's two-factor theory?
The Schacter two-factor theory states that emotion is the product of the interplay of two variables:
- Physiological excitation and
- Cognition.
This theory suggests that physiological excitation is cognitively understood and interpreted within the setting of each encounter, resulting in the emotional experience.
The relationship between bodily arousal and how we cognitively perceive that arousal is the subject of the two-factor theory of emotion.
- To put it another way, merely feeling arousal is insufficient; we must also recognize the arousal in order to interpret and experience the emotion.
