Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, may be bad (51) your arteries, but according to a study in Psychological Science, they’re good for your heart and emotions The study focuses on "comfort food" and (52) it makes people feel.
"For me personally, food has always (53) a big role in my family, " says Jordan Troisi, a graduate student at the University of Buffalo, and lead author on the study. The study came out of the research program of his co-author Shira Gabriel. It has looked at non-human things (54) may affect human emotions. Some people reduce loneliness (55) bonding with their favorite TV show, (56) virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved ones. Troisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect by making people think of their nearest and dearest.
In one experiment, (57) make participants feel lonely, the researchers had them write for six minutes about a fight with (58) close to them. Others were given an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each group wrote about the experience of eating a comfort food and others wrote about eating a new food. (59) , the researchers had participants complete questions about their levels of loneliness.
Writing about a fight with a close person made people feel (60) . But people who were generally secure in their relationships would feel less lonely by writing about a comfort food. "We have found that comfort foods are (61) associated with those close to us, " says Troisi. "Thinking about or consuming these foods later then serves as a reminder of those close others. " In their essays (62) comfort food, many people wrote about the experience of eating food with family and friends.
In another experiment, eating chicken soup in the lab made people think more about relationships, but (63) they considered chicken soup to be a comfort food. This was a question they had been asked long (64) the experiment, along with many other questions, so they wouldn’t remember it.
Throughout everyone’s daily lives they experience stress, often associated with our connections with others, Troisi says. "Comfort food (65) be an easy remedy for loneliness. /
