The writer studied the quality of diet, the frequency of co-eating, and the atmosphere at meal time respectively in order to clarify their effects on the mental health of junior high school students. Five hundred and seventy-three students responded my questionnaire, and the major findings are as follows : (1)As for the dietary quality, high quality of diet may be considered very effective in controlling low level of "lack of perseverance" as well (2)as their temperament such as "hot temper, " "irritation, " "unwillingness to go to school, " and "wish to commit suicide." It should be noted that peaceful atmosphere at the dining table is more effective on the above-mentioned four states of mind than high level of nutrition. (3)High frequency of co-eating is found effective in controlling their "wish to commit suicide" and "unwillingness to go to school" as long as they are pleased with the atmosphere at the dining table. (4)As far as the male students are concerned, talking with their family off the dining table seemed effective in controlling their "hot temper, " "irritation, " and "wish to commit suicide." So long as the female students are concerned, however, the warm meal time atmosphere seemed more effective than having a chat with their family off the dining table.
