Binge Eating is the process when a person consumes more food than they need, usually in a shorter period of time, even if they are not hungry. When people come into contact with anything or scenario that causes them stress, they are more likely to binge. The aim of this study is to find out the way Binge Eating and Stress are co-related. 100 participants were chosen for this study where two scales where administered on them, i.e., Binge Eating Scale (BES) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). For the calculation, inferential statistical analysis i.e., Pearson’s correlation was used where a positive score of r = 0.274 was obtained.
