The data collected by Dutton and Aron (1974) that anxious arousal from being on a narrow bridge can be misinterpreted as romantic interest supports the Schachter-Singer theory of emotion. This theory proposes that emotions are the result of a two-step process, where physiological arousal is first experienced and then interpreted through cognitive processing and labeling, leading to the experience of emotion.
