Schachter- singer theory (2 factor model)- label and level: stimulus- physiological response-cognitive labeling- emotion, physiological response: level, how much?, how fast is my heart beating, cognitive labeling: label, what?, how much or what level am i feeling, Cognitive- appraisal theory: stimulus- cognitive appraisal- emotion, no physiological response, thinking triggers emotion.
