AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.3
According to the Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory, why might a student feel nervous before a big test?
Test-taking leads directly to fear without any bodily reactions involved.
The physiological response and the feeling of being nervous occur simultaneously with no interpretation needed.
The student interprets his or her increased heart rate as fear due to the upcoming examination.
The student feels nervous first which causes their heart rate to increase.
