On such occasions, whether in private or public spaces, and as formal or informal events, our eating practices are inseparable from our interactions with other people. In this Editorial for the Special Issue on Interactional approaches to eating together and shared mealtimes, we provide an overview of the interdisciplinary field of research on eating together and shared mealtimes to illustrate the breadth and depth of work that has been developed in this area to date. The overview is divided into three broad clusters of research that focus primarily on (1) cultural or societal aspects, (2) individual outcomes, or (3) interactional practices. Commonalities across these clusters are discussed, the need for more research across a greater global and cultural diversity of eating practices is highlighted, and the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration on research on eating together and shared mealtimes across diverse scientific disciplines is explored. The papers in this Special Issue showcase a sample of contemporary work from within the cluster of research on interactional practices, and a brief overview of these papers is discussed. Finally, it is argued that as a common area of interest, social interaction as the foundation of eating practices within shared mealtimes poses considerable potential for interdisciplinary collaboration across scientific disciplines, and between scientists, professionals, and participants from the study populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107585"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141464744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nine focus groups (n = 83 participants) were conducted with Australian adults who reported drinking alcohol at least twice per month. Participants were exposed to an energy-only information label and labels displaying full nutrition information panels. A thematic analysis approach was used to identify key issues. While few participants were overtly enthusiastic about the mandatory display of energy values on alcohol products, there was general support for the provision of this information to assist those drinkers who could benefit from it. Substantial confusion was apparent as participants attempted to distil meaning from the provided information, particularly where it was expressed in terms of serving sizes and standard drinks. Full nutrition panels were particularly problematic in terms of creating a health halo due to the nil or low values for multiple nutrients listed. This was especially notable for information relating to sugar content. Overall, there appears to be inadequate public understanding of the concept of dietary energy in alcoholic beverages and the various terms used to quantify its presence, which is likely to limit the utility of mandatory energy information provision requirements unless they are accompanied by effective community education.</p>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107700"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142374781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ascribing (dis)taste for food on behalf of others, occasions accounts for just how to eat, showing the strong normative features that make up to the recognizability of sharing a meal as a competent member - including how sensorial experiences are evaluated and expressed.

Older adults also typically have reduced appetite and consequently are often not meeting dietary and nutrient requirements. The causes of reduced appetite are known to be multifactorial but mechanistically are not well understood. Heightened gut hormone responding and poor dentition in older adults have been implicated. Solutions to reduced appetite, including the use of oral nutritional supplements, are often not well received, with older adults preferring to consume \"real\" foods. Numerous studies have now demonstrated the value of food-based interventions; however some concerns, such as those related to sensory appeal, familiarity and price, can be exacerbated by age. As such, acceptance of solutions by the older generation is paramount in ensuring intervention success, and working with older adults to co-create food-based solutions is more likely to see positive outcomes. The co-creation of foods and dietary advice has been well received across a range of nutrients, including fibre and protein. However, it must also be acknowledged that there are stark individual differences in social gradients and in health between groups of older adults, and this is not always represented in the current literature. Increased awareness of dietary and food requirements in this population group is still needed, and in exploring solutions, much can be gained from consulting with older adults themselves.</p>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107602"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141597984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings reveal that self-identity positively influences willingness to pay (WTP) for fairtrade products, as consumers are more inclined to pay a premium when these products align with their self-concept. Both altruistic and egoistic values shape self-identity, although their impacts differ. Specifically, egoistic values such as monetary, visual, and functional considerations negatively affect WTP, while sensory and altruistic values enhance it. Additionally, egoistic values uniformly moderate the relationship between self-identity and ethical behaviors. Interestingly, altruistic values exert a negative moderating effect, suggesting that when altruistic values are dominant, self-identity expression becomes less critical for ethical purchasing decisions.
