Keywords:
Eating Behavior, Emotion, First-year StudentsAbstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between stress and emotional eating in first year university students. The first-year university students, commonly adolescents, often face distress which could trigger emotional eating. There are several negative effects of emotional eating including obesity, depression, and eating disorders. The study was conducted among 195 students (M = 18.6). The Indonesian version of the student-Life Stress Inventory and the Indonesian version of the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire were used. The study indicated that there was a positive relationship between stress and emotional eating (r = 0.317, p < 0.001). Therefore, a good stress management skill is necessary to overcome the negative effects of stress and avoid emotional eating among the first-year students.
