| Research Abstract |
In this study, psychological merit of eating with someone is explored. Experimental studies in this study could not show a statistically significant effect of eating with someone on palatability of the foods and the beverages. On the other hand, the more positive emotions were found in the situations eating with someone than eating alone. For example, participants reported more pleasant, expended more time, expressed and remembered positive expressions in the situation eating with someone. These results suggest that the merit of eating with someone is not only a situation where we share the table, but coaction effect that means we accomplish something with others.
