Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to understand the emotional eating process of insecure adult attach-ment women and seek counseling interventions necessary to reduce emotional eating.
 Methods For this purpose, an online self-report survey was conducted on 390 adult women using the Insecure Adult Attachment Scale, Emotional Eating Scale, Emotional Approach Coping Scale, and Korean Version of Multidimensional Impulsiveness Scale to verify the double mediating effects of emotional approach coping and impulsiveness in the relationship between insecure adult attachment and emotional eating.
 Results The results of this study are as follows: First, emotional approach coping had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between insecure adult attachment and emotional eating. Second, impulsiveness had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between insecure adult attachment and emotional eating. Third, emotional approach coping and impulsiveness sequentially mediated the relationship between insecure adult attachment and emotional eating.
 Conclusions This study suggests that it is necessary to study how insecure adult attachment affects emotional eating from more diverse perspectives, and suggests that interventions in emotional approach coping and im-pulsivity are necessary to prevent and treat emotional eating.
