Similarly, in misattributed arousal, people will attribute their arousal feeling partially to themselves and emotional cues. For self-perception theory, we get information about our attitudes partially by analyzing our reactions in the instances that behavior occurs. Many other external factors can be missed in the midst of making a decision which can lead to misattribution arousal. For example, in the bridge experiment, men crossing the suspension bridge probably come to their conclusion reflecting back on how they reacted to previous encounters with women in other anxious situations. They were self-reflecting about their own behaviors before asking the woman for a date. They were convinced that their arousal feeling was indeed an attraction for the woman. This is often true when internal factors are weak or confusing so people have to seek for other factors to attribute to their attitudes and feelings. The misattribution arousal model explain the reasons we tend to associate our feeling to the wrong source and may lead to attraction. And self-perception also relates to the misattribution arousal model in guiding people to look at themselves to understand their behavior and
