Bu araştırmanın amacı, mücadele sporcularında duygusal yeme, bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 590 mücadele sporcusu (erkek = 407, kadın = 183) katılmıştır. Araştırmada duygusal yeme ölçeği, sporcu bilinçli farkındalık ölçeği ve psikolojik iyi oluş ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, sporcuların millilik durumuna göre incelendiğinde, mili sporcuların duygusal yeme ve alt boyutlarında diğer sporculara göre daha fazla duygusal yeme düzeylerine sahip oldukları görülmüştür (p<0.05). Duygusal yeme, bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Duygusal yeme arttıkça farkındalık ve yeniden odaklanma düzeylerinde düşüş olurken yargılamama alt boyutunda artış olmaktadır. Duygusal yeme eğilimi ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasında ise negatif yönde bir ilişki olduğu ve duygusal yeme artışı psikolojik iyi oluşu azaltmaktadır. Bilinçli farkındalık düzeyi yükseldikçe psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyi de yükselmektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, duygusal yeme mücadele sporcularında farkındalık düzeylerinde bozulmalara neden olurken aynı zamanda psikolojik iyi oluşu da olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu etkilerin mücadele sporcuları için müsabakalara hazırlanırken kilo düşme süreçlerinde zorlanmalara fiziksel ve psikolojik olarak performans düşüşleri yaşamalarına neden olabileceği düşünülebilir.
