How emotions affect eating: a five-way model.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take into account both individual characteristics and emotion features, and specify five classes of emotion-induced changes of eating: (1) emotional control of food choice, (2) emotional suppression of food intake, (3) impairment of cognitive eating controls, (4) eating to regulate emotions, and (5) emotion-congruent modulation of eating.

Development of a method to measure consumer emotions associated with foods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an emotion-specific questionnaire to test foods with consumers in person or on the internet and found that higher overall acceptability scores correlated with higher emotions, but differences in emotion profiles did not always correlate to differences in acceptability.

Emotional eating, depressive symptoms and self-reported food consumption. A population-based study.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that emotional eating and depressive symptoms both affect unhealthy food choices, and emotional eating could be one factor explaining the association between depressive symptoms and consumption of sweet foods, while other factors may be more important with respect to non-sweet foods and vegetables/fruit.

TL;DR: It is proposed that people eat comfort food in an attempt to reduce the activity in the chronic stress-response network with its attendant anxiety, which may explain some of the epidemic of obesity occurring in the authors' society.
