Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jason's experience aligns with the Schacter-Singer two-factor theory, as he is misattributing his arousal (excitement) to the wrong source (class instead of lab partner). According to this theory, emotions result from physiological arousal (such as increased heart rate) and cognitive interpretation of that arousal (the lab partner is attractive).
