Eating together helps to make people feel socially close to one another (Rozin, 2005; Shutts, 2013). However, not everyone can engage in this type of social eating for religious or personal reasons. In this study we are interested in how evaluations are formed towards people who cannot always engage in social eating. Specifically, we are interested in how children might judge others based on the foods they do not eat, and what individual differences impact their evaluations. Additionally, we are also curious to see if some reasons for rejecting food are deemed more acceptable than others, especially as children adapt and value different morals throughout their childhood. Participants (ages 3–11 years old, n=229) read a short vignette about a character who has to reject a meal at a table with their friends due to the meal either 1) containing meat and the character is vegetarian, or 2) being from a different country and the character only eats American food. After reading the story, the participants record their judgments toward the character, such as if they thought the character was rude and if they believed they were similar to the character. These questions were followed by a short Morality Foundations Questionnaire, which was used to determine what underlying themes children prioritize in moral judgements impact the childrens’ judgments towards different reasons for refusing food, along with the acceptability of rejecting unfamiliar foods. Results found that children think refusing food is generally rude as they grow older, as well as view rejection due to the food being non-American as more rude (β= -0.860, p<.001). We will continue to look at the morality variables and see if children’s beliefs about morality impact their evaluations
