Women's Health Noise, Frustration Hike Women's Snacking Women exposed to frustration and noise stresses snack more afterwards, but men don't, according to a Pennsylvania study. In a laboratory experiment, women exposed to noise stress, frustrated by an unsolvable puzzle or a math problem-solving session, ate more potato chips, cheese, popcorn and chocolate as compared with women who were less frustrated. Men ate the same amount of snacks regardless of stresses. Study leader Dr. Laura Klein of the Pennsylvania State University, said, "Although other researchers have shown that both men and women eat more during stressful periods, this is the first study to show that eating is affected in some individuals after a stress is stopped." Klein said that in daily life, people often rise to the occasion to deal with stress. "The real window of vulnerability may be after the stress is over. For example, women exposed to a week of frustrating job stress could be especially vulnerable to overeating on the weekends." The findings are published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. - Updated: June 1, 2004 |
