Existing literature indicates a relationship between stress and emotional eating in adults, yet limited research has examined the impact of school-related stress on emotional eating in adolescents. This study investigated the influence of academic factors on emotional eating among minority adolescents.
A survey was implemented among a sample of minority adolescents (N = 666) to investigate the relationship between emotional eating and 3 academic factors: academic self-esteem, grade point average (GPA), and academic worries. Forced-entry multiple linear regressions were used to test for relationships.
Findings indicate that GPA, academic self-esteem, and academic worries were related to emotional eating scores in adolescents. There were no significant differences in academic factors between emotional eaters and nonemotional eaters.
Additional research is needed to further elucidate the complex interaction between emotional eating behavior and academics.
现有文献表明,成年人的压力与情绪性进食之间存在关联,但关于学校相关压力对青少年情绪性进食影响的研究有限。本研究调查了学术因素对少数族裔青少年情绪性进食的影响。
对少数族裔青少年(N=666)进行了一项调查,以调查情绪性进食与 3 项学术因素(学业自我价值感、平均绩点和学业忧虑)之间的关系。采用强制进入多元线性回归检验关系。
研究结果表明,平均绩点、学业自我价值感和学业忧虑与青少年的情绪性进食得分相关。情绪性进食者和非情绪性进食者在学术因素方面没有显著差异。
需要进一步研究来更深入地阐明情绪性进食行为和学业之间的复杂相互作用。
