Question

Marcy comes back from her six-mile run and is annoyed to find that her husband takeshi left the milk out on the counter. according to the excitation-transfer theory of aggression, how is marcy likely to react when she sees takeshi?

Answer 1

She will act aggressively towards Takeshi since she is physiologically aroused. Schachter and Singer's theory expresses that an enthusiastic state is the result of the physiological excitement and the insight with respect to the condition of excitement. Accordingly, perception decides how the physical reaction is named; for instance, as "outrage", "satisfaction", or "dread".
