Schachter and Singer's Two Factor Theory The theory that to experience emotion, one must be physically aroused and cognitively label the arousal
Spillover effect Our arousal from one event (a run, a hormone injection) can intensify the way we feel about a subsequent event - and a stirred-up state can be experienced as many different emotions depending on how we label it
