“…The repeated sampling performed by a relatively small sample certainly does not cover the whole variety of ways in which eating may be affected by emotions. In field studies, stress and negative mood states have been shown to preced food cravings (Hill et al, 1991), to increase or decrease the amount of food eaten (Slochower et al, 1981;Rosenfeld & Stevenson, 1988;Stone & Brownell, 1994) and to increase preference for snack foods (Willenbring et al, 1986;Steptoe et al, 1998;Oliver & Wardle, 1999). Such changes of eating should be taken into account in future studies on the relationships between different emotions and eating in everyday life.…”

“…Codependency has been described in situations independent of chemical addiction and has been found to engender susceptibility to a myriad of health problems (Cermak, 1986a;Schaef, 1986;Wegscheider-Cruse, 1985;Whitfield, 1991). Anxiety, depression, anger, and compulsivity are the psychological problems most frequently noted in the literature associated with overeating and codependency (Cullen & Carr, 1999;Fischer, Spann, & Crawford, 1991;Gotham & Sher, 1996;Hinkin & Kahn, 1995;Hughes-Hammer et al, 1998a;Slochower, Kaplan, & Mann, 1981).…”

Overeating is a common eating disorder and often leads to obesity and to significant physical, emotional, and social problems often warranting nursing care. Codependency has expanded beyond the chemical dependency field and describes the dysfunctional pattern of behavior of an individual in a relationship with another person or from survival in a dysfunctional family of origin. The psychological and behavioral factors surrounding overeating are noted frequently in the literature but are not emphasized in most overeating treatment programs. Anxiety, depression, anger, and compulsivity are the psychological problems often linked with overeating and codependency. The purpose of this study was to test the CodependencyOvereating Model (COM) by examining the relationship between overeating and codependency, anxiety, depression, anger, and compulsivity. The variables were measured with the Overeating Questionnaire, Codependency Assessment Tool, and Symptom Checklist-90-R. This study used a model-testing correlational design with 567 students recruited from a Mississippi community college. Pearson's product-moment correlations noted weak correlations between age and anxiety (r = .12), age and depression (r = .20), age and compulsivity (r = .20), codependency and anxiety (r = .12), and codependency and anger (r = .16). No significant correlations were noted between overeating and codependency, anxiety, depression, anger, or compulsivity. Although the predictive relationships were not verified in the model, several important ways to minimize limitations in future studies were identified. The development and testing of the COM was the beginning step in pursuing a solid understanding of overeating and codependency and a catalyst for worthwhile future research.

Most studies have focused on individual differences and have found that some individuals increase the amount of food eaten when emotionally aroused while others decrease food intake or leave it unchanged.…”
