“…Following Kaiser's rule, two factors were obtained. The first factor, that accounted for 43% of the variance, included items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 y 9, and seems to reflect those behaviors most directly related to EE, according to previous research: food intake triggered by emotions [1] (items 5, 6 and 8), the preference for certain foods [14] (items 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9) and the difficulty in controlling eating [49] (items 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9). EE not only involves eating in response to certain emotions, but also it has been suggested the implication of some executive mechanisms, like impulsivity and the inability to modulate emotional responses [66].…”

“…Episodes of EE usually include the intake of a large amount of calorie dense, sweet and/or high fat foods [12,13]. EE has been associated with increased carbohydrate intake for women, and, in men, fat-free mass content was associated with lower scores in EE [14]. In a non-convergent way, although, it has also been found the lack of significant effects of EE on caloric intake [15] or that EE status did not predict the consumption of a specific food type [16].…”

Emotional eating (EE) patterns have been shown to play a relevant role in the development of overweight problems. However, there is a gap in research aimed at validating questionnaires to assess EE in specific populations. The aim of the study was to analyze factor structure and psychometric properties of Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ) in Spanish universities. EEQ, state-anxiety subscale of STAI and a questionnaire about health habits were filled out by 295 students. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) by using Unweight Least Squares (ULS) method was carried out. To determine factor numbers we used eigenvalues, parallel analysis, and goodness of fit statistics. Cronbach’s alpha and Spearman correlations were used to analyze reliability, convergent, and concurrent validity. The parallel analysis and goodness of fit statistics showed that unifactorial structure of seven items was the most appropriate what accounted for 57% of the variance. Internal consistency was good (α = 0.753), as well as convergent validity (r = 0.317; p < 0.001). Concurrent validity was significant for three of the five criteria (r = −0.224; p < 0.001 and r = −0.259; p < 0.001). The results suggest some differences in the structure of the psychometric assessment of EE in sub-clinical population in comparison with previous studies carried on with an overweight population, what could be relevant to obesity prevention.

“…This situation was thought to be due to the more intense emotional expressions of women 37 . Santos et al 38 in their study found that emotional eating and uncontrollable eating were found to be statistically significantly higher in women compared to men. In addition, it was found in their study that weight increased in both groups with decreased emotional eating and lean muscle mass; significant associations were observed between uncontrolled eating and carbohydrate consumption in women (r = 0.52, p < 0.05).…”

Introduction: Because of the new type of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) seen worldwide, many countries have a difficult time both in terms of health and economy. It is thought that infection and fear of death owing to the disease may cause a disturbance in the individuals’ psychology. Moreover, precautions such as social distancing and quarantine to prevent the spread of the disease and the prolongation of these interventions may further aggravate the conditions, such as mood disorders and stress. This study was aimed to determine the emotional eating status of individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine its effect on a healthy eating attitude.Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study with a total number of 578 adults without COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment (422 [73%] women, 156 [27%] men). The study was conducted using the Google Forms web survey platform. The link to the survey was shared via WhatsApp and Instagram. The participants were asked to share the study link to reach out to as many potential participants as possible throughout the nation using the method known as snowball sampling. A questionnaire form which includes sociodemographic characteristics, the Turkish version of the Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ-TR), and the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) were applied to the participants. EEQ-TR and ASHN forms were answered twice, retrospectively for the pre-COVID period and prospectively during the COVID period.Results: While average emotional eating scores increased compared to pre-COVID-19 scores, individuals shifted from low-level emotional eaters to emotional eaters (p < 0.000). On the other hand, the average ASHN scores decreased, and individuals shifted from the middle-level healthy eating attitude to a low level (p < 0.000). As the quarantine period increased, emotional eating, body weight, and body mass index (BMI) increased, and healthy eating attitude decreased (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Individuals’ emotional eating increased due to social distancing, self-quarantine, or isolation in the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes are found to be effective in healthy eating in a negative way. Long-term unhealthy eating is not recommended for people’s health. Therefore, it is necessary to inform individuals about stress management, healthy nutrition, the importance of regular exercise, and sleep patterns.

Sağlıklı beslenmenin kriterlerinden ve etkileyicilerinden en önemlilerinden birisi duygusal iştahtır. Duygusal iştah, birçok faktörden etkilendiği gibi birçoklarını da etkileyebilmektedir. Duygusal iştah düzeyini belirlemede duygu durum ve günlük olaylar zincirinin önemli faktörler olduğu söylenebilir. Duygusal iştah tarafından düzenlenen faktörler arasında en önemlilerden biri beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) olup, basit şeker tüketiminin artmasıyla ilişkilendirilmektedir. Yapılan çalışmalarda duygusal yeme eğiliminde olan kişilerin olumsuz duygu durum ve şartlarına bağlı olarak basit şeker tüketmeye yatkın olup, sonuç olarak BKİ’lerinde artışlar görülmektedir. Bu derlemede duygusal iştahla ilişkili faktörler üzerinde durulmaktadır. Literatür ışığında; duygusal iştahın genel beslenme ve sağlıklı olma durumu ile ilişkisi incelenmektedir. İnceleme yazısının sonucunda elde edilen verilere göre; olumsuz duygu durumlarında duygusal iştahın beslenme üzerine etkisi ile ilgili olarak diyetisyenlerin diyet programlarında dikkatli olmaları gereken bir konu olduğu görülmektedir.
