Abstract

Mahasiswa merupakan salah satu kelompok masyarakat yang tidak terhindar dari stres. Hal ini juga dirasakan oleh mahasiswa tingkat akhir yang memiliki tanggung jawab untuk belajar, menuntaskan beban sks, dan menyelesaikan skripsi atau tugas akhir sebagai salah satu syarat kelulusan. Dalam menjalani tanggung jawab tersebut tentunya tidak terhindar dari kesulitan maupun tantangan yang dapat menimbulkan stres. Cara individu dalam menghadapi dan merespons stres pun berbeda-beda, salah satunya yaitu dengan mengonsumsi makanan secara kurang terkendali sebagai respons terhadap emosi negatif seperti depresi, cemas, marah atau frustasi, stres, dan bosan yang disebut sebagai emotional eating. Perilaku ini dalam jangka panjang dapat menimbulkan berbagai dampak negatif. Dengan mempertimbangkan dampak buruk yang dapat ditimbulkan oleh emotional eating, maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kedua hubungan tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan teknik nonprobability sampling, yaitu convenience sampling dan pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara daring. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 231 mahasiswa dan mahasiswi di perguruan tinggi negeri dan swasta di Jakarta dengan rentang usia 20 - 24 tahun. Adapun alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) yang dikembangkan Cohen et al. (1983) dan Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) yang dikembangkan Van Strien et al. (1986). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara stres dan emotional eating dengan nilai r = .409, p = .000 < .01. Hal ini berarti semakin tinggi stres, maka semakin tinggi pula emotional eating.
