According to the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory of emotion, if a person is injected with epinephrine (increasing heart rate and blood pressure) without their knowledge, and then enters a room with a very angry confederate, how will they interpret their feelings?
- They will interpret the feeling as 'rest-and-digest' due to the parasympathetic rebound effect.
- They will likely feel angry because they will attribute their physiological arousal to the social context.
- They will feel fear because epinephrine is the 'fear' hormone regardless of the context.
- They will feel no emotion because epinephrine alone does not trigger the amygdala.
