Answer: Two factor theory of emotion

Explanation:

According to a two factor theory our emotions are made up of two elements which is physcal arousal that is further determined by cognitive label.

In order for us to experience an emotion it start with our physcal response to what our mind will the interpret for us cognitively and then we are able to grasp how we are feeling at that moment.

It pays attention on how we label our physiological arousal For example trembling and heart racing is our physiological response or arousal and our mind label this to let use know that we are afraid because we are trembling. So it start with physiological responses which are further labeled using our cognitive abilities.
