| Abstract | The present study sought to explore psychosocial and behavioral associations of emotional eating in adolescence. Data from the Get Moving study were used to conduct multilevel regression and structural equation model analyses. Participants were 617 minority middle school students in Los Angeles County in the seventh and eighth grades. In girls, emotional eating was positively associated with confused and depressed mood, and negatively associated with anger. In boys, emotional eating was associated with worries. Both boys and girls were likely to eat salty high energy-dense foods and boys were also likely to eat fruits and vegetables when emotional eating. Findings showed a significant positive relationship between perceived stress and emotional eating, however this association was not moderated by BMI. Results indicate that there is specificity in emotions and foods associated with emotional eating. It also appears that several associations found in European and Caucasian samples as well as in the adult literature generalize to a minority sample of adolescents. Results emphasize the important role of affect as an influential factor in eating behavior. Thus, these findings provide points of focus for interventions that may not have previously received ample attention. |
