The purpose of this study on university students is to examine how the factors of their past meal scenes have affected their father-child and mother-child psychological connection. A total of 694 university students (238 males and 456 females) completed the questionnaires provided. The factors of past meal scenes consisted of “concerns in preparing meals,” “ease and handiness of meals,” “mutual communication at dinner table,” “pleasant atmosphere,” “discipline of manners,” and “frequency of table talk.” The main results are as follows: (1) The “pleasant atmosphere” at dinner table has an effect on both the father-child and mother-child psychological connection. (2) The father-child psychological connection is affected by the “frequency of table talk,” while the mother-child psychological connection is affected primarily by “concerns in preparing meals” and “mutual communication at dinner table.” (3) The difference of students' lifestyle affects their mother-child psychological connection; the connection is affected only by “pleasant atmosphere” for those commuting to the campus from home whereas the connection is influenced by “pleasant atmosphere,” “concerns in preparing meals” and “mutual communication at dinner table” for those living alone near or on the campus.
