“…Past literature across multiple disciplines indicates that eating together with family is not only beneficial for children's socialization, but also has strong correlations with self-regulation. Cinotto (2006) finds that having meals together with family represents prioritization of family over other concerns. From a sociological perspective, Cinotto concludes that those working adults who make it a point to have meal with their family on a regular basis, demonstrate considerable self-commitment.…”

“…Past research suggests that spending time with family during meals on a frequent basis demonstrates considerable selfcommitment on the part of adults (Cinotto 2006), and is an observable expression of selfregulatory capacity of the parents. This study uses data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine whether higher levels of self-regulatory resources, as proxied by frequently dining together with family, also results in greater financial well-being and wealth accumulation among adults.…”

This study uses data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine whether selfregulation, proxied by regularly dining together with family, is associated with better financial preparedness and greater wealth accumulation across time among households. Findings reveal that individuals who had sufficient self-regulation to regularly eat meals together with their family, increased wealth at a faster rate than others between 1994 and 2004. Moreover, those who exhibited self-regulation by frequently spending mealtime with their family showed greater preference for investment portfolio diversification. Consistent with other studies, results indicate that wealth accumulation increased with age, income, and educational attainment.

“…Historically, the American kitchen has served as a physical and symbolic site of social segregation, ''a 'ritual break' between black food preparation and white consumption'' (Gwin, 1992, p. 56), and a boundary separating men from women and middle-class class families from their working-class labors. According to Cinotto (2006), modern American kitchens often reflect nineteenth-century race, gender, and class politics. The same is often true of kitchens featured in food media (Keller, 2006), including that at Posh Urban Cuisine.…”

“…Traditionally, researchers have portrayed family mealtimes as social events that help establish and maintain family culture (Cinotto, 2006). The experience of bringing together a group of individuals creates mutual recognition of the family as an entity and creates a sense of unity.…”

Organizations are increasingly interested in creating learning opportunities for their employees. This article explores and describes how a university planned to increase employee interactions and organizational learning opportunities by fostering emergence of communities of practice. In this case study, Saint Xavier University offered an academic program for Chicago police officers at a Chicago Police Department training facility. More than a hundred officers enrolled in a master's of business administration (MBA) program participated in this study. The study gathered data through a combination of surveys, interviews, and direct observations to investigate the program participants' interactions and the potential impact of their interactions on the host organization. The primary academic program design factors included leveraging class break times by providing meals for program participants to share. Comparisons are drawn from research on the benefits of family meal sharing; the potential of similar benefits to organizations are explored. Results indicate that academic program design factors may increase interaction and organizational learning opportunities, and that shared meal times play an essential role.
