| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine how stress, exercise, and emotional eating can affect a college males body mass index (BMI). Our study included 48 males attending a State University who had their BMI measured and filled out the Stressful Situations Questionnaire, Physical Activity Scale, and the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire. We found that positive emotions, more daily sleep, and stress when dealing with pain and danger were all negatively associated with BMI. More research needs to be done on how positive emotions affect BMI, specifically differentiating males and females and more research should be done on the effect of pain and danger and stress. | |
