Abstract

Daily‐life stressors and food cravings are dynamic and vary within and across persons. Some evidence suggests interpersonal stressors increase appetite. However, little is known about the association of food craving with different types of stressors at the momentary level in the general population. We aimed to explore the momentary relationships between daily‐life stressful events and food craving in a non‐clinical community sample, and to compare the associations with food craving when the most stressful event was perceived as interpersonal versus non‐interpersonal. We used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to collect reports on the most stressful event, perceived stressor type, stressor appraisal, and food craving from 123 adults three times a day scheduled at fixed intervals over 10 days. Mixed effects random intercepts and slopes models examined the within‐ and between‐person associations. Experiencing a stressor was significantly positively associated with within‐person food craving at the same measurement. No differences in momentary food craving were found when the most stressful event was perceived as interpersonal or non‐interpersonal (within‐person level). However, frequently reporting the most stressful event as interpersonal (vs. non‐interpersonal) was positively associated with food craving across the study (between‐person level), particularly when the stressor was appraised as more unpleasant. Daily‐life stressors were associated with momentary food craving. Individuals who generally perceived interpersonal stressors as their most stressful event tended to experience food cravings. Future research could further investigate the role of interpersonal stressors as a factor for overeating in daily life and the potential benefits of stress management in interventions.
瞬间压力引起的食物渴望:比较人际和非人际压力感知的生态瞬间评估研究
日常生活压力和对食物的渴望是动态变化的,在个人内部和个人之间都存在差异。一些证据表明,人际压力会增加食欲。然而,在普通人群中,人们对食物渴望与不同类型的压力事件在瞬间的关联知之甚少。我们的目的是在非临床社区样本中探讨日常生活压力事件与食物渴望之间的瞬间关系,并比较当认为最大压力事件是人际压力事件与非人际压力事件时,食物渴望与压力事件之间的关联。我们采用生态瞬间评估(EMA)方法,在 10 天内每天固定间隔三次收集 123 名成年人关于最大压力事件、感知到的压力源类型、压力源评价和食物渴望的报告。混合效应随机截距和斜率模型检验了人内和人与人之间的关联。在同一次测量中,经历压力与人内食物渴望呈显著正相关。当最紧张的事件被认为是人际的或非人际的(人内水平)时,没有发现瞬间食物渴望的差异。然而,在整个研究过程中,经常报告最紧张的事件为人际事件(相对于非人际事件)与食物渴望呈正相关(人际层面),尤其是当压力源被评价为更不愉快时。日常生活压力与瞬间食物渴望相关。一般认为人际关系压力是其最大压力事件的人往往会出现食物渴望。未来的研究可以进一步探讨人际压力源作为日常生活中暴饮暴食因素的作用,以及压力管理在干预中的潜在益处。
