Being on a suspension bridge and talking to an attractive woman resulted in the misattribution of this state in an experiment by Dutton and Aron.
It is plotted against pleasure in a graph developed by Russell, Weiss, and Mendelsohn called the Affect Grid. In the theory of flow by Csikszentmihalyi (CHICK-sent-ME-high), this state occurs when the skill level is medium and the challenge level is high. In an experiment by Maslach, this state was induced by hypnotic suggestion. For a simple task, this state correlates strongly with performance, but for a complex task it shows a U-shaped curve according to the (*) Yerkes-Dodson law. Being on a suspension bridge and talking to an attractive woman resulted in the misattribution of this state in an experiment by Dutton and Aron. Emotions are caused by both this and cognition according to Singer and Schachter's two-factor theory. For 10 points, name this physiological state in which the nervous system is primed to react to stimuli.
