The study came out of the research program of his co-author Shira Gabriel. It has_4_ non-human things that may affect human emotions. Some people reduce loneliness by bonding with their_5_ TV show, building virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved ones. Troisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect_6_ making people think of their nearest and dearest5. In one experiment, in order to make_7_ feel lonely, the researchers had them write for six minutes about a fight with someone close to them. Others were given an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each_8_ wrote about the experience of eating a comfort food and others wrote about eating a new food. _9_ the researchers had participants_10_ questions about their levels of loneliness6. Writing about a fight with a close person made people feel lonely. But people who were generally_11_ in their relationships would feel less lonely by writing about a comfort food. “We have found that comfort foods are consistently associated with those close to us,” says Troisi. u Thinking about or consuming these foods later then serves as a reminder of those close others.” In _12_ essays on comfort food, many people wrote about the_13_ of eating food with family and friends. In another experiment,_14_ chicken soup in the lab made people think more about relationships, but only if7 they considered chicken soup to be a comfort food.
