Theory Briefing
- The Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory argues emotion requires both physical arousal and a cognitive label to explain it.
- MCAT students learn that the same physiological state — a pounding heart — can become fear or excitement depending on context.
- This theory challenges the idea that emotions are automatic, suggesting the mind actively constructs feelings from ambiguous body signals.
