Contrarily, a study conducted by Spoor et al.[4] found that negative affect is not significantly related to emotional eating, but the two are indirectly associated through emotion-focused coping and avoidance-distraction behaviors. The stress response is a highly-individualized reaction and personal differences in physiological reactivity may also contribute to the development of emotional eating habits. Women are more likely than men to resort to eating as a coping mechanism for stress,[13] as are obese individuals and those with histories of dietary restraint.[14] In one study, women were exposed to an hour-long social stressor task or a neutral control condition.
