Results from survey studies demonstrate a relationship between parental rejection and self-reported emotional eating of youngsters. The aim of the current study was to build on this research by examining the relationship between parental rejection and actual emotional eating, using an experimental laboratory paradigm. Participants were 46 youngsters between the ages of 10 and 17 years old. Participants first completed online questionnaires at home, measuring parental rejection and emotional eating style. At the laboratory, participants were randomly assigned to a neutral condition or negative mood condition, followed by a multi-item snack buffet. The interaction effect maternal rejection × condition on energy intake from savoury food was significant. More maternal rejection predicted more energy intake from savoury food in the negative mood condition, but not in the neutral condition. The results highlight the importance of assessing, and if mandatory, improving the emotional bond between parent and child in the prevention and intervention of emotional eating.
调查研究结果表明，父母的拒绝与青少年自我报告的情绪化进食之间存在关联。本研究的目的是在此项研究基础上，通过使用实验性实验室范式来检验父母的拒绝与实际情绪化进食之间的关系。参与者为46名年龄在10至17岁之间的青少年。参与者首先在家中完成在线问卷，测量父母的拒绝和情绪化进食方式。在实验室中，参与者被随机分配到中性条件或负面情绪条件下，随后是多项目的零食自助餐。母亲的拒绝×条件对咸味食物能量摄入的交互作用显著。在负面情绪条件下，更多母亲的拒绝预示着从咸味食物中摄入更多能量，但在中性条件下则不然。研究结果凸显了在情绪化进食的预防和干预中评估以及（如有必要）改善亲子情感纽带的重要性。
