Abstract
Purpose: To identify the associations of eating alone with type D personality, depression, and rejection sensitivity among South Korean university students.
Design and Methods: Data were collected from 370 students recruited from five universities using a self‐reported questionnaire.
Findings: Eating alone had significant correlations with type D personality and depression. Significant factors affecting eating alone were age, place of residence, type D personality, and depression. These factors accounted for 17% in eating alone.
Implications for Nursing Practice: There is a need for interventional programs that can reduce the negative effects of eating alone and prevent depression among students with type D personality.
