Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether individuals with high emotional eating scores consume more food during both sad and joyful moods, compared to low emotional eaters.
  • Results showed that high emotional eaters ate significantly more after sadness than joy, while low emotional eaters' food intake did not differ between moods, indicating emotional eating moderates the relationship between mood and food intake.
  • Additionally, the mood-related increase in food intake for high emotional eaters was specific to sweets and not salty foods, suggesting that emotional and positive/negative responses to emotions may involve different eating behaviors.
