Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about theories of emotion.
Hints
- Only one option is false; find the one that drops arousal from the two-factor theory.
- Two-factor needs BOTH ingredients - arousal is not optional.
Show the answer
- A. The two-factor theory requires both arousal and a cognitive label.
- C. Lazarus argued a cognitive appraisal must precede emotion.
- D. Misattribution of arousal can make bridge-induced arousal feel like attraction.
- E. James-Lange holds that arousal precedes and produces the emotion.
Why
Two-factor's dual requirement, James-Lange's ordering, Lazarus's appraisal-first claim, and misattribution of arousal are all true. Schachter-Singer does NOT say the label alone suffices - arousal is required - making that the one false option.
