Pages 15-16 in Lucinda Crile, Review of Extension Studies - January to June 1951, Extension Service Circular 474, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. July 1951. Summary of findings from a study, Agricultural Extension, Kansas State College, Manhattan. 1951. 39 pages.
16 pages., Article #:3RIB3, via online journal., Research on the family mealtime has shown its importance for youths' dietary attitudes and behaviors. Youths who have more frequent family meals often have more healthful dietary behaviors. However, little is known about the context and processes related to how family mealtimes affect youths' dietary behaviors. To address this gap, we examined the context of family mealtimes and parent socialization that occurs during family meals through mealtime observations and interviews. Family mealtimes are valued by parents, and our findings can be useful to Extension professionals in educating parents and families regarding shaping of family mealtimes, feeding strategies, and nutrition.
