The same emotion can be interpreted differently based on external stimuli what you think affects the emotion you experience. When an emotion is felt, a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousal. Finding: participants who had no explanation of why their body felt as it did were more susceptible to the confederate. If a person experiences a state of arousal for which they have no immediate explanation, they will label this state and describe their feelings in terms of the cognitions available to them at the time. If a person is put in a situation, which in the past could have made them feel an emotion, they will react emotionally or experience emotions only if they are in a state of physiological arousal.
