拉丁美洲人对疼痛及其与情绪化进食的关系以及可能构成其关联的潜在机制的了解有限。我们探讨了焦虑敏感性（对焦虑的负面后果的恐惧）是否解释了拉丁美洲人样本中疼痛强度和情绪化进食之间的关系。参与者为79人（87.3%女性; M年龄= 42.04，SD = 12.01），主要是联邦合格健康中心的女性拉丁裔与会者。正如假设的那样，结果表明，疼痛强度通过情绪化进食的焦虑敏感性产生了显着的间接影响。替代模型，其中焦虑敏感性作为预测和疼痛强度作为间接影响也是显着的。这些新的数据突出了疼痛强度和焦虑敏感性在情绪化进食方面的潜在双向关系。总体而言，疼痛强度和焦虑敏感性可能是拉丁美洲成年人情绪化进食的基础机制。
There is limited understanding of pain and its relationship to emotional eating among Latinos as well as knowledge about potential mechanisms that may underlie their association. We explored whether anxiety sensitivity (fear of the negative consequences of anxiety) explained the relation between pain intensity and emotional eating among a sample of Latinos. Participants were 79 (87.3% female; M-age = 42.04, SD = 12.01) predominately female Latino attendees of a Federally Qualified Health Center. As hypothesized, results indicated that pain intensity yielded a significant indirect effect through anxiety sensitivity for emotional eating. Alternative models wherein anxiety sensitivity served as the predictor and pain intensity as the indirect effect were also significant. Such novel data highlight the potential bi-directional relationship between pain intensity and anxiety sensitivity in terms of emotional eating. Overall, pain intensity and anxiety sensitivity may serve as mechanisms that underlie emotional eating among Latino adults.
