Emotions are a mix of consciously experienced thoughts, expressive behaviors, and physiological arousal. Which theory emphasized the importance of cognition in emotion?

The correct answer is:

The Two-Factor theory

Explanation:

According to the Two-Factor theory developed by the psychologist Stanley Schachter, the emotions need from two different factors to be presented or expressed by an individual.

In the first place, it is necessary to have an external stimuli that causes a psychological response, then the individual processes the psychological response through a cognitive appreciation in order to create a relationship with the already known possible responses that are in the final step expressed as emotions.

1. external stimuli - psychological response

2. cognitive appreciation - emotions
