Emotional Eating: A Short Behavioral Quiz - Quiz

This quiz will help to identify emotional eating and give awareness to our behavioral habits. It will help associate emotional eaters with the possible source of their "comfort" cravings and hopefully lead to some self reflection.

Questions and Answers

1.

Do you feel the urge to eat something following a negative emotional event (argument, disappointment, frustration, etc)?
- A.
  
  Yes
- B.
  
  No
Correct Answer
B. No

Explanation
The answer is "No" because not everyone feels the urge to eat something following a negative emotional event.

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.

Rate this question:
6.

My parents rewarded good behavior with food treats as a child.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
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.

Rate this question:

Rate this question:
8.

The food I make at home reminds me of the food my family makes when we have dinners together.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
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.

Rate this question:
9.

My family makes my favorite meal, or we go to my favorite restaurant when I'm in town or have an exciting event (birthday, promotion, etc.).
- A.
  
  Yes
- B.
  
  No
Correct Answer
B. No

Explanation
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.

Rate this question:
10.

I crave my favorite foods when I am upset or lonely, and they make me feel better.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
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.
