Full description

Nutrition; It is the completion of the growth and development stages and the adequate intake of nutrients necessary for being healthy (Özmen et al. 2007). Maslow (1943) considers nutrition within the physiological needs at the first step in the hierarchy of needs and states that the purpose of satisfying physiological needs can also be the search for comfort and safety. Eating frequency and amount are also affected by emotions such as anxiety, anger, joy, depression, and sadness in addition to physiological hunger (Canetti et al. 2002). Emotional eating is expressed as a response to negative emotions and is seen as a way of regulating experienced negative emotions (Frayn & Knäuper, 2018). Bekker et al. (2004) reported that participants showed higher emotional eating behavior during negative affect compared to neutral mood periods. In addition, it is stated that impulsivity has an increasing effect on self-perceived emotional eating. In the study examining the effects of emotions on feeding behavior; anger has a higher effect on impulsive and emotional eating, and joy on hedonic eating compared to other emotions. It has also been reported that women tend to eat more emotionally during feelings of anger and sadness (Macht 1999). Studies indicate that individuals with high body mass index have more emotional eating behavior (Blair et al. 1990; Levoy et al. 2017). But Geliebter and Aversa. (2003) reported that emotional eating behavior is more common in normal-weight individuals in the face of positive emotions. In the study conducted with university students in the normal weight range; female students define stress, while male students define boredom and anxiety as factors that cause emotional eating behavior. It is observed that unhealthy foods are generally preferred during emotional eating and female students feel more guilty than males (Bennett et al. 2013). Considering that university students are in the transition stage to adulthood, healthy eating behaviors are of great importance (Mazıcıoğlu and Öztürk 2003). Nutritional behaviors of university students who are seen as a risky group in terms of nutritional problems (Pengpid and Peltzer 2018) and who are trying to adapt to a new order also affect their physical and mental health and academic performance (Ermiş et al. 2015). For the emotional eating behavior of university students, interventions focusing on emotion and stress management apart from dietary regulation are recommended (Bennett et al. 2013).
