Emotional changes after eating chocolate were examined in everyday life. Thirty-seven healthy, normal-weight women ate a chocolate bar, an apple or nothing and rated their subjective state 5, 30, 60 and 90min after eating. Both chocolate and the apple reduced hunger, elevated mood and increased activation, but the effects of the chocolate were stronger. Eating chocolate was also followed by joy and, in some women, by guilt. Guilt responders experienced less intense positive emotions. Whereas positive emotional responses appear to be due to sensory pleasure and it's anticipation and may also be related to reduced hunger, guilt responses are probably induced by negative food-related cognitions.
在日常生活中对食用巧克力后的情绪变化进行了研究。37名健康、体重正常的女性分别食用了一块巧克力、一个苹果或未进食任何东西，并在进食后5分钟、30分钟、60分钟和90分钟对她们的主观状态进行评分。巧克力和苹果都能减轻饥饿感、提升情绪并增强活力，但巧克力的效果更强。食用巧克力后还会产生愉悦感，部分女性还会感到内疚。有内疚感的参与者体验到的积极情绪强度较低。积极的情绪反应似乎是由于感官愉悦及其预期，也可能与饥饿感减轻有关，而内疚反应可能是由与食物相关的负面认知引起的。
