Abstract

Ethnicity, acculturation, social identification, and social support predicted eating with others in a university dining hall. Specifically, students who were Latinx/Hispanic, higher in U.S. acculturation, higher in social support, and identified more with their university peers were more likely to eat with others in the dining hall.
