Emotional Eating: A Short Behavioral Quiz

The statement implies that if someone's boyfriend or girlfriend dumps them, they would feel comforted by having a bucket of ice cream. However, this is not necessarily true for everyone. While some people may find solace in indulging in comfort food like ice cream, others may not find it comforting at all. Different individuals have different coping mechanisms and preferences for seeking comfort, so it cannot be assumed that everyone would feel comforted by ice cream in this situation.

The statement suggests that the person's parents rewarded good behavior with food treats when they were a child. However, the correct answer is false. The explanation for this could be that the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether the person's parents actually rewarded good behavior with food treats. It is possible that the person's parents used other forms of rewards or did not use any rewards at all. Therefore, without more information, we cannot conclude that the statement is true.

The answer is "No" because not everyone feels the urge to eat something following a negative emotional event. While some individuals may turn to food as a form of emotional comfort or coping mechanism, others may not experience this urge and may have different ways of dealing with negative emotions. Therefore, the answer depends on the individual and their personal response to emotional events.

The answer "No" indicates that the person does not have a designated comfort food that they always keep readily available.

The statement implies that the food made at home reminds the person of the food their family makes when they have dinners together. The correct answer is false because the statement suggests that the person's family does not make food together during dinners, therefore the food made at home does not remind them of their family's food.

This statement suggests that if the person had a long exhausting day, they would feel deserving of a slice of apple pie. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that the statement is not true. It implies that the person does not believe they deserve a slice of apple pie even after a long exhausting day.

The statement suggests that the person's favorite foods make them feel better when they are upset or lonely. However, the correct answer is False because it is not necessary that their favorite foods actually make them feel better. While some people may find comfort in their favorite foods during difficult times, it is not a universal experience. Different individuals may have different coping mechanisms or preferences when it comes to dealing with emotional states. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that everyone's favorite foods will make them feel better in such situations.

The answer is "No" because the question asks whether cookies, candy, chocolates, and other sweets are considered rewarding treats. By choosing "No," it implies that these items are not seen as rewarding treats.

The correct answer is "No" because the statement mentions two conditions for having the favorite meal - being in town or having an exciting event. If neither of these conditions is met, then the favorite meal is not made or the favorite restaurant is not visited.

The answer is "No" because it suggests that the person does not reward themselves with food when they think they deserve it. This implies that they have alternative ways of rewarding themselves or that they do not believe in using food as a form of reward.
