Recent studies have highlighted high levels of emotional eating during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but have not satisfactorily explained these changing eating patterns. Here, we tested one potential explanatory model broadly based on a biosocial model of emotional eating. Specifically, we examined the extent to which negative emotional reactivity was associated with emotional eating, as well as the mediating role of fear of COVID-19. A total of 474 women from Romania were asked to complete measures of emotional eating, negative emotional reactivity, and fear of COVID-19. Mediation analysis showed that higher negative emotional reactivity was significantly and directly associated with greater emotional eating. This direct relationship was also mediated by fear of COVID-19. These results highlight one possible route through which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have resulted in elevated rates of emotional eating, though further research is needed.
最近的研究强调了在冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行期间情绪性进食水平较高，但未能令人满意地解释这些不断变化的进食模式。在这里，我们基于情绪性进食的生物社会模型测试了一个潜在的解释模型。具体来说，我们研究了负面情绪反应与情绪性进食的关联程度，以及对 COVID-19 的恐惧的中介作用。共有 474 名来自罗马尼亚的女性被要求完成情绪性进食、负面情绪反应和对 COVID-19 的恐惧的测量。中介分析表明，较高的负面情绪反应与更大的情绪性进食显著直接相关。这种直接关系也受到对 COVID-19 的恐惧的中介。这些结果突出了一种可能的途径，即持续的 COVID-19 大流行可能导致情绪性进食率升高，但需要进一步研究。
