The study aims to clarify the relationships between stressors, emotions, and different types of eating behaviors.
Experience-sampling study involving 64 participants over 4 weeks
Participants reported daily stressors and emotional states via smartphone prompts
Bayesian multilevel models analyzed the relationships between stress, emotions, and eating behavior
General stressors did not influence snacking behavior (OR = 1.07)
Time pressure increased likelihood of snacking (OR = 1.34)
Higher arousal correlated with increased food intake (B = 0.04)
Emotional eating was not supported as a significant factor in this context
