What will be an ideal response?
Answer: According to this theory, feelings of love consist of: general physiological arousal and a label for that arousal. The theory posits that we can confuse the specific cause of our arousal and may mistakenly interpret or label arousal stemming from one source as attraction or love for another person. Consistent with the theory, men report more attraction to attractive women they meet in various arousing situations, such as when they are expecting electric shock, crossing a shaky suspension bridge, or after exercising. In these examples, the arousal that the men felt was mistakenly labeled by the men as attraction for a nearby woman.
