Mabel is comparing theories of emotion. when studying the schacter-singer two-factor theory, she notes that people experience emotion through simultaneous physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. the emotion correlated with the physiological response pattern. physiological arousal followed by cognitive interpretation. the subjective emotion followed by the physiological response.

The correct answer is people experience emotion through physiological arousal followed by cognitive interpretation.

According to the Schacter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion, people experience emotions as a result of physical arousal followed by a cognitive label. According to this theory, if you are walking alone at night and hear footsteps behind you, you will experience fear only if you experience physically arousal (pounding heart, shallow breathing, etc.) and then interpret the situation as dangerous of harmful.
