本研究探討台灣個人在工作壓力、情緒性飲食行為、睡前感知壓力和睡眠品質之間的關係。測試了一、情緒化飲食行為對於工作相關壓力與睡眠品質間以及工作相關壓力與睡前感知壓力間是否有調節作用; 二、工作相關壓力對睡眠品質的直接關係; 三、工作壓力對睡前感知壓力的直接關係。此研究採問卷調查，並分為三階段測量，第一階段測量工作後的壓力等級，第二階段測量了情緒化飲食行為與睡前感知壓力程度，第三階段測量了睡眠品質。此研究的最終樣本量為262。根據結果，我發現：a)情緒化飲食行為對工作壓力與睡前感知壓力的關係有顯著的調節作用； b) 情緒化飲食行為對工作壓力與睡眠品質的關係有顯著的調節作用； c) 工作壓力對睡前感知壓力呈現負相關，對睡眠品質也呈現負相關。

This study examines the relationships among work-related stress, emotional eating behavior, perceived stress before sleep, and sleep quality among Taiwanese individuals. It tests: 1) whether emotional eating behavior mediates the relationship between work-related stress and sleep quality, as well as between work-related stress and perceived stress before sleep; 2) the direct relationship between work-related stress and sleep quality; and 3) the direct relationship between work-related stress and perceived stress before sleep. This research adopts a questionnaire survey, divided into three stages of measurement: the first stage measures the level of stress after work, the second stage measures emotional eating behavior and the degree of perceived stress before sleep, and the third stage measures sleep quality. The final sample size is 262. Results indicate that a) emotional eating behavior significantly mediates the relationship between work-related stress and perceived stress before sleep; b) emotional eating behavior significantly mediates the relationship between work-related stress and sleep quality; c) work-related stress is negatively correlated with perceived stress before sleep and sleep quality.
