“…This study is the first to distinguish university student profiles according to their life satisfaction, food-related life satisfaction, and family life satisfaction. Higher scores from Group 1 and the lower scores from Group 2 on the SWLS and SWFoL confirm previous studies that suggest that those who are more satisfied with their food-related life have higher levels of life satisfaction 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 . However, the scores of Group 3 on both scales indicate that these students have a high level of life satisfaction, although their food-related life satisfaction is relatively low.…”

“…The respondents were asked to indicate their level of agreement with the five statements using a 6-level Likert scale (1= completely disagree to 6= completely agree). This study used the Spanish-language version of the SWLS which has shown good internal consistency in previous studies with university students in Chile 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 . In this study, the SWLS had good internal consistency (Cronbach's α= 0.881).…”

“…Recent studies in Chile suggest that food-related life satisfaction is positively correlated with overall life satisfaction 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 . Some of these studies have associated levels of life satisfaction and food-related life satisfaction to family interactions involving food 2,4,5,7,8 . Nevertheless, studies regarding the relationship between food-related life satisfaction and family life satisfaction are still scarce 9 .…”

“…However, studies carried out in Chile report that the relationship among eating habits, life satisfaction, food-related life satisfaction and family support is not homogeneous among university students [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . In addition, a recent study reported that different profiles of university students exist based on their levels of well-being 12 .…”

The aim of this study was to distinguish university student profiles according to life satisfaction and satisfaction with food-related life and family, as well as to determine whether profiles differ in terms of their family support, quality of diet, body mass index (BMI) and socio-demographic characteristics. A questionnaire was applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 370 students of both sexes (mean age 21.1 years, 54.2% female) in Chile, including Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Satisfaction with Food-related Life (SWFoL) scale, Satisfaction with Family Life (SWFaL) scale, Family Resources Scale (FRS) and the Adapted Healthy Eating Index (AHEI). Three student types were distinguished with significant differences in average values of SWLS, SWFoL and SWFaL scales, z-scores from the intangible resources subscale from the FRS and average AHEI score. These profiles also differed in place of residence, dinner frequency at place of residence and BMI. Higher life satisfaction levels, as well as food-related life satisfaction, family life satisfaction, and intangible family support, were associated with a higher quality diet, lower BMI, living with parents while at university, and having dinner more frequently at home.

Food neophobia defined as "unwillingness to eat and/or avoid new foods" by Pliner and Hobden (1992) is considered to be a biological mechanism, which can protect individuals from eating potentially toxic foods (Cifci et al., 2020). It is a personality trait that affects people's daily food choices (Jaeger et al., 2021). Food neophobia is related to, but theoretically distinct from picky eating (fussy eating, pickiness, finickiness) (Knaapila et al., 2015), which denotes reluctance to eat familiar foods that are not liked (Cinar et al., 2021).Food neophobia is also different from food neophobia technology.The former is afraid of unfamiliar food, while the latter is afraid of
