The Schachter-Singer two-factor theory of emotion, developed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome E. Singer, explains emotions through physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. This theory suggests that emotions are the result of both bodily responses and how we cognitively assess situations. It contrasts with the Cannon-Bard theory, which views emotional and physiological responses as simultaneous and independent. The Schachter-Singer theory's insights are valuable for emotional regulation and therapeutic practices.
