    Answer:The Schachter-Singer Theory or two factor theory.

    Explanation:

    The Schachter-Singer Theory which is also referred to as the two factor theory

    States that an environmental stimuli will bring us an arousal that start with a physiological response after which we start to interpret the arousal caused by the stimuli cognitively. When we interpret the physiological response the aim is to understand it and be able to give it a name. In short the focus of two factor theory is relations between physcal arousal and how we try to interpret it cognitively.

    You go to an interview the physiological arousal is your heart pounding and quick breathing as you react towards the idea of being in an interview environment, your cognitive interpretation is that you are anxious.

    A person insult you which stimulate a physiological response which is heart pounding and breathing quickening and your cognitive interpretation is that you are angry.
