Eating is an inherently emotional activity and the attachment system is an emotion regulation system. Individuals with attachment insecurity have less interoceptive awareness and difficulty regulating emotion. Insecurely attached individuals may eat emotionally because they misinterpret internal hunger cues, (i.e. think they are hungry when they are experiencing some other internal, attachment-related state). The current study found a positive association between attachment anxiety and emotional eating. This relationship was mediated by perceived hunger.
进食是一种与生俱来的情绪化行为，而依附系统则是一种情绪调节系统。依附不安全感个体的内在感知能力较弱，情绪调节能力也较差。依附不安全感个体可能会情绪化进食，因为他们对内感饥饿线索的解读有误，（即当他们经历其他内在的、与依附相关的状态时，他们会认为自己饿了）。本研究发现，依附焦虑与情绪化进食呈正相关。这种关系受到感知饥饿的中介作用。
