In Schachter and Singer's study on physiological stimuli and situational context, if an individual is uninformed or misinformed about the effect of epinephrine, what appears to happen when the individual interacts with an angry person?

Schachter and Singer's study suggests that emotions are the result of both cognitive and physiological processes. According to their study, individuals respond in different ways to a shot of adrenaline and that will depend on the context they find themselves in. In this situational context, if an individual is uninformed or misinformed about the effect of epinephrine and interacts with an angry person, he/she will show an angry response.
