This research is based on the phenomenon of risky eating behavior among college students in Indonesia. One of the risky eating behaviors is emotional eating. Emotional eating is eating behavior triggered by negative emotions, one of which is stress. The type of stress that often occurs in college students is academic stress. This study aims to identify the relationship between academic stress and emotional eating in college students. There were 146 college students aged 18-22 years that participated in this study. Academic stress was measured using the Perceived Sources of Academic Stress scale, while emotional eating was measured using the emotional eating subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using the Spearman's rho method with the help of Jamovi 2.2.5 software. Analysis results found a significant correlation between academic stress and emotional eating (r = 0,276; p < 0.001). Furthermore, the correlation is positive, which indicates that the higher the level of academic stress, the higher the level of emotional eating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
