    Two-Factor Theory

    Explanation:

    The two-factor theory is also referred to as Schachter - Singer theory of emotion; this theory tries two explain that there are two factors required to experience an emotion. The first factor is "physical arousal" or physiological response as a result of an environmental stimulus. The second factor is then the cognitive response that tries to interpret the initial physiological response.

    In the case of Sally, the first factor was her increased sweat and heart rate as a result of the exam, while the second was her cognitive processes which interpreted her increased heart rate due to the fact that she is unprepared for the exam.
