Some say there are only two true human emotions: Love and Fear. They are potentially opposites of the same thing. Love for a child will differ from love for a husband, wife, mother or father, long lasting friendship or a forever companion dog.
Two-Factor Theory. This is also known as Schachter's Two-Factor Theory of Emotion, after Stanley Schachter. Schachter proposed that human emotions contain two factors or parts: physical arousal and a cognitive label. According to Schachter, both of these elements must be present for you to experience an emotion. Some form of arousal occurs (e.g., increased heart rate, perspiration, etc.), you then put some label on this arousal, and then experience the emotion. For example, imagine playing a physically demanding game like basketball.
