Lazarus's cognitive-mediation theory focuses on how cognitive appraisals of a situation mediate the emotional response. It suggests that when individuals appraise a situation as having personal relevance or as a threat, they experience emotional arousal. On the other hand, the Schachter-Singer cognitive arousal theory proposes that emotional experiences arise from the interpretation of physiological arousal, which is then given meaning through cognitive labeling. Thus, while Lazarus's theory emphasizes cognitive appraisals, the Schachter-Singer theory emphasizes the interpretation of physiological arousal.

Cognitive anxiety is basically the psychological (mental) side of anxiety, it acts on the brain, and has symptoms such as; poor concentration, confusion, negative images and fear, whereas Somatic anxiety is the physical side of it, and acts upon the body, with symptoms such as; 'butterflies' in the stomach, tense muscles, sweating and nausea. Cognitive state anxiety is moment-to-moment changes in worry and negative thoughts, and Somatic state anxiety is moment-to-moment changes in perceived physiological arousal (arousal being a negative blend of physiological and psychological emotions).
Our need for stimulation (the arousal motive) suggests that behavior efficiency increases as we move from deep sleep to increased alertness. However, once we pass the maximum level of arousal, our performance declines.
