情绪性进食通常定义为因消极情绪(如焦虑和压力)而过度进食的倾向。本文用CiteSpace 6.2.R4软件对Web of Science数据库中收录的青春期至成年早期情绪性进食研究领域的647篇核心文献进行了可视化分析。结果发现:1) 从论文发表数量的增长趋势看,近年来青春期至成年早期情绪性进食已成为研究热点,越来越多的不同国家和学科的学者参与了这一领域的研究;2) 该领域研究聚焦在3个方面:青春期至成年早期情绪性进食的相关行为、风险因素以及相应后果;3) 该领域的研究视角已从早期的饮食节制到当前的心理健康;4) 当前该领域的研究主要从生物学因素、人口学特征、心理因素、社会环境等多个方面来探讨青春期至成年早期的风险因素,密切关联的领域有减重、非控制性进食和心理健康。Emotional eating is commonly defined as the tendency to overeat as a result of negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and stress). In this paper, 647 core papers in the field of adolescence to early adulthood emotional eating research included in the Web of Science database were visualised and analysed using CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software. The results were found: 1) The trend of growth in the number of papers published shows that emotional eating from adolescence to early adulthood has become a research hotspot in recent years, and more and more scholars from different countries and disciplines are involved in this field of research;2) Research in this area focuses on 3 aspects: behaviours related to emotional eating from adolescence to early adulthood, risk factors, and corresponding consequences;3) The perspective of research in this area has shifted from early dietary abstinence to current mental health;4) Current research in this area focuses on risk factors in adolescence to early adulthood from a variety of perspectives, including biological factors, demographic characteristics, psychological factors, and social environments, with close
