___________ theory of emotion states that the emotion experienced depends on cognitive appraisal.

Schachter’s two-factor theory says emotion depends on both physiological arousal and a person’s cognitive interpretation, or appraisal, of that arousal. Therefore, the correct choice is Schachter’s two-factor theory. James-Lange and Cannon-Bard focus on the relationship between bodily responses and emotional experience, but the question’s emphasis on cognitive appraisal points to Schachter’s theory.
