An increase in food intake during emotional and psychological conditions may have a negative impact on human health. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the associations between food consumption, emotional eating behavior, and emotional conditions such as stress, depression, loneliness, boredom eating, maintaining vigilance and alertness, and emotional food consolation. We used a Motivations for Food Choices Questionnaire (Eating Motivations, EATMOT) to determine the emotional aspects of food consumption in 9052 respondents living in 12 European countries between October 2017 and March 2018. Ordinal linear regression was used to identify the associations between the emotional eating behavior and emotional conditions such as stress, depression, loneliness, emotional consolation, and reasons to improve physical and psychological conditions. The regression models confirmed the associations between food consumption, emotional conditions, and emotional eating behavior. Associations were found between the emotional eating behavior and stress (odds ratio (OR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07\u20131.60, p = 0.010), depressive mood (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.40\u20131.43, p &lt; 0.001), loneliness (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.58\u20131.62, p &lt; 0.001), boredom (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.36\u20131.39, p &lt; 0.001), and emotional consolation (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.54\u20131.57, p &lt; 0.001). Emotional eating was associated with an effort to improve physical and psychological conditions, such as controlling body weight (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.10\u20131.12, p &lt; 0.001), keeping awake and alert (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.19\u20131.20, p &lt; 0.001) and consumption to feel good (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.21\u20131.22, p &lt; 0.001). In conclusion, emotions might provoke emotional eating behavior. The appropriate way to handle stress, depression, or other emotional states is important in conditions of being emotionally overwhelmed. The public should be educated on how to handle different emotional states. The focus should be moved somehow from emotional eating and the consumption of unhealthy food to healthy lifestyle practices, including regular exercise and healthy eating habits. Thus, it is necessary to halt these negative health effects on human health through public health programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods12040872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T05:57:52Z","timestamp":1676872672000},"page":"872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Emotions
