THE INFLUENCE OF COGNITION ON AFFECTCognition can also
influences mood.Two-factor theory of emotion (Schachter,1964).
States that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal
and cognitive labelAccording to the theory when an emotion is felt,
a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate
environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological
arousal.This can sometimes cause misinterpretations of emotions
based on the bodys physiological state. When the brain does not
know why it feels an emotion it relies on external stimulation for
cues on how to label the emotion.
Imagine you are alone in a dark parking lot walking toward your
car. A strange man suddenly emerges from a nearby row of trees and
rapidly approaches.
The sequence that follows, according to the two-factor theory,
would be much like this:I. See a strange man walking toward me.2.
My heart is racing and I am trembling.3. My rapid heart rate and
trembling are caused by fear.4. I am frightened!
