Bu çalışma, seçim döneminin artan psikososyal stres ve günlük yaşam düzenindeki değişikliklerle karakterize edilen yapısı içinde, siyasi parti üyelerinde sosyal baskınlık yönelimi (SDO), duygusal iştah ve yeme tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Toplam 623 katılımcı (ortalama yaş 34,02±12,73 yıl), Sosyal Baskınlık Yönelimi Ölçeği (SDO7), Duygusal İştah Anketi (EMAQ) ve Yeme Tutum Testi’ni (EAT-26) yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla tamamlamıştır. Bulgular, sosyal baskınlık yönelimi puanı yüksek olan bireylerin olumsuz duygusal durumlarda daha düşük duygusal iştaha ve daha az “yemekle aşırı meşguliyet” düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir (p<0,01). Ayrıca, sosyal baskınlık yöneliminin “eşitliğe karşı olma” alt boyutundaki bir birimlik artış, olumsuz durumlarda duygusal iştahın 0,800 kat azalmasına, olumlu durumlarda ise 0,350 kat artmasına yol açmıştır (p<0,001). Bununla birlikte, bu alt boyuttaki bir birimlik artışın yeme bozukluğu davranışlarında 0,259 kat azalma ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç olarak, sosyal baskınlık yöneliminin, özellikle seçim dönemleri gibi stresli süreçlerde, bireylerin duygusal iştahını ve yeme tutumlarını etkileyerek yeme davranışlarının şekillenmesinde önemli bir rol oynadığı ve bazı durumlarda daha kontrollü yeme davranışlarına katkı sağlayabileceği söylenebilir.
