I believe it is the Schachter-Singer theory

Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion

Explanation:

The Schachter-Singer theory of emotion states that, while physical arousal plays a primary in emotions, this arousal alone could not be responsible for emotional responses. Therefore, the theory analyzes the interaction between the physical arousal and how we cognitively label that arousal. Therefore, in order to feel the emotion, the arousal is not enough. We also need to identify it and label it.
