Diet and Emotions/Emotional Eating

Diet and Emotions/Emotional Eating (Adult Population)

The CNP Diet and Emotions/Emotional Eating Research Category consolidates research exploring the interdependent relationship between dietary intake, emotions, and emotional eating. While this is its own research category, dietary intake, emotions, and eating behavior often intertwine. For this reason, you may see studies in this research category that could just as easily been placed in the Diet and Behavior research category (and vice versa). To view each original study on the open internet, click “Original.” To view the CNP-written abstract summary, click “CNP Summary.” While only some of the CNP-written abstract summaries are available below for free, all abstract summaries are available to CNP members through the CNP Library Membership.

  • 13 March 2021
  • Reviewed By CNP Staff

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health challenges, notably increasing emotional eating (EE) as a coping mechanism wherein individuals consume food in response to emotional stimuli rather than physiological hunger. This study specifically examines gender differences in EE during the pandemic, revealing that women reported heightened EE levels correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression due […]
