What does Schachter’s two-factor theory state about the relationship between emotion and physiological reaction?
(A) Emotions are caused by physiological reactions. For example, we feel excited because our heart begins to race.
(B) Physiological reactions are caused by emotions. For example, our experience of fear causes our breathing rate to increase.
(C) A combination of physiological reactions and our cognitive interpretation of an event produces emotion.

(C) A combination of physiological reactions and our cognitive interpretation of an event produces emotion.

Explanation
Schachter said the cognitive label we apply to an event combined with our body’s reaction creates emotion. James-Lange said biological changes cause emotion, and Cannon-Bard states that emotional reactions occur at the same time as physiological changes. No theory maintains that emotions are unrelated to biological changes.
