Los jóvenes universitarios son una población expuesta a altos niveles de estrés y
sentimientos negativos debido a la alta demanda académica de ese periodo. La ansiedad
por la comida es una característica contemporánea que suele aparecer durante épocas de
alto estrés incrementando la posibilidad de la aparición de trastornos de la conducta
alimentaria, diabetes, sobrepeso y obesidad. Por esta razón, el presente estudio se centró
en analizar la relación entre ansiedad por la comida y la regulación emocional, por un
lado; y la comida y la afectividad, por el otro. Para ello, se evaluaron 432 estudiantes de
una universidad privada de Lima a través de una serie de instrumentos: FCQ-T (ansiedad
por la comida), ERQ-P (Regulación emocional) y el I-Spanas-SF (afectividad). Se
encontró que a mayores niveles de afectividad negativa había mayor presencia de
ansiedad por la comida. Asimismo que a menor presencia de afectividad positiva, había
mayor presencia de conductas descontroladas hacia la comida. En cuento a la regulación
emocional, se halló que un mayor uso de la estrategia de reevaluación cognitiva se
relaciona con mayores conductas de alimentación hedónica. Por último, se halló que la
estrategia de supresión emocional se relacionó con conductas ansiosas hacia la comida.
Además, se encontró que las mujeres tienen una mayor predisposición a las conductas
ansiosas por la comida. / Young college students are a population exposed to high levels of stress and negative
feelings due to the high academic demand of this period. The anxiety over food is a
contemporary characteristic that usually rises during periods of high demands of stress,
increasing the possibility of disorders in the eating behavior, diabetes, becoming
overweight and obesity. For this reason, the present study focused on analyzing the
relationship between anxiety for food and emotional regulation on one hand; and on the
other, the relationship between anxiety for food and affectivity. For this purpose, a sample
size of 432 students were evaluated through a series of instruments: FCQ-T (food
craving), ERQ-P (Emotional Regulation) and I-Spanas-SF (affectivity).. An analysis of
bivariate correlations was carried out using the Pearson’s r coefficient to determine the
relationship between the different test points. It was found that under higher levels of
negative affectivity there is a higher presence of food related anxiety. Likewise, it was
found that under lower presence of positive affectivity there is a higher presence of
uncontrolled behaviors towards food. With regards to the emotional regulation it was
found that a higher use of the cognitive reassessment strategies is related to higher levels
of hedonic nutrition. Lastly, it was found that the strategy of emotional suppression is
related to anxious behaviors towards food. Moreover, it was found that women have a
higher predisposition to anxious behaviors over food.
