Emotional eating is considered a risk factor for eating disorders and an important contributor to obesity and its associated health problems. It has been suggested that boredom may be an important contributor to overeating, but has received relatively little attention. A sample of 552 college students was surveyed. Linear regression analyses found that proneness to boredom and difficulties in emotion regulation simultaneously predicted inappropriate eating behavior, including eating in response to boredom, other negative emotions, and external cues. The unique contributions of these variables to emotional eating were discussed. These findings help to further identify which individuals could be at risk for emotional eating and potentially for unhealthy weight gain.
情绪化进食被认为是饮食失调的一个风险因素，也是肥胖及其相关健康问题的一个重要促成因素。有人提出，无聊可能是暴饮暴食的一个重要促成因素，但相对而言受到的关注较少。对552名大学生进行了调查。线性回归分析发现，无聊倾向和情绪调节困难同时预测了不适当的饮食行为，包括因无聊、其他负面情绪和外部线索而进食。讨论了这些变量对情绪化进食的独特作用。这些发现有助于进一步确定哪些人可能有情绪化进食的风险，以及可能有不健康体重增加的风险。
