Why we cite it

Review paper proposing a framework for understanding how emotions affect eating — not a single mechanism but five distinct pathways. Published in Appetite, this paper ”takes into account both individual characteristics and emotion features, and specifies five classes of emotion-induced changes of eating”, which it distinguishes by antecedent conditions, eating responses and mediating mechanisms. It is a review proposing a model, not a test of one.
