Researchers at the University of North Florida found that coercive food practices are associated with poorer emotional regulation in preschoolers, which in turn is linked to emotional overeating.

Emotional overeating is known to be associated with unhealthy eating patterns, weight issues, and potential eating disorders later in life.

The study involved 221 mothers of four- and five-year-old children recruited through online platforms Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific.
