Answer:Two factor theory of emotions.

Explanation: Based on this theory of emotions, our emotions are driven by two components, the first one being the physical arousal and then followed by Cognitive label.

A person first experiences some sort of physiological responses such as Jamie, Her heart starts beating very quickly and she begins to sweat.

After this our mind label this arousal or identifies it as being nervous.

We first feel physically aroused then our mind labels that arousal in order to actual feel the emotions.
