High emotional relief from stress by eating enhanced the moderating effect of stress reactivity on the relationship between self-reported emotional eating and increased snack food intake post-stress. The moderated moderation (i.e. three-way interaction) was highly significant, F(13,28) = 4.7, p = .0003; R2 = .68. Self-reported emotional eating predicted increased snack food intake post-stress only under conditions of high SBP stress re activity and high emotional relief from stress by eating (b = .20, SE = .09, p = .03; 95% CI: .02 – .39), F (1, 28) = 5.2, p = .03. SBP = systolicblood pressure.
