Resumen

El comer emocional es un impulso alimentario impulsado por las emociones y está relacionado con una baja autoestima. Estas creencias y representaciones mentales compartidas son estereotipos. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las relaciones entre el comer emocional, la autoestima y los estereotipos en 717 participantes, en su mayoría mujeres (93,7%). La recolección de datos se realizó en línea con la aplicación de los siguientes instrumentos: Sociodemográfico, Subescala de Alimentación Emocional, Escala de Autoestima y Escala de Estereotipos del Comer Emocional. Los resultados apuntan a correlaciones significativas entre la autoestima, la alimentación emocional y los estereotipos negativos. Una autoestima negativa se relaciona con una mayor tendencia a tener una alimentación emocional. La alimentación emocional se asocia con estereotipos negativos, por ejemplo, mentiroso y debilucho. Estos hallazgos plantean preguntas sobre cómo es válido el papel de la autoestima y los estereotipos negativos en la conducta alimentaria.
