Jerome Singer (1 Jan 1934 Jahr – 1 Jan 2010 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Jerome Everett Singer (1934 - 2010) was the founding chair of the Medical and Clinical Psychology Department at Uniformed Services University.

He is best known for his contributions to the two-factor theory of emotion. He played a role in the cognitive revival of modern psychology. His main area of expertise was the psychological and physiological effects of various types of stress.

According to the two-factor theory of emotion, when an emotion is felt, a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousal. This can sometimes cause misinterpretations of emotions based on the body's physiological state. When the brain does not know why it feels an emotion it relies on external stimulation for cues on how to label the emotion.
