question 15 of 30
the schachter - singer theory of emotion says that:
a. your sympathetic nervous system is engaged.
b. the frontal lobes interpret your physical state.
c. the parietal lobes work to put together what you are feeling.
d. your frontal lobes are largely inactive.

Explanation:

The Schachter - Singer theory of emotion (also known as the two - factor theory) posits that emotions are the result of a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The frontal lobes are involved in cognitive interpretation. The sympathetic nervous system is related to physiological arousal but is only one part of the theory. The parietal lobes are mainly associated with sensory perception (e.g., touch, spatial awareness) rather than the core of emotional interpretation in this theory. And the frontal lobes are not largely inactive in emotional processing according to this theory.

Answer:

B. the frontal lobes interpret your physical state.
