Psychology says people who never miss family dinners on festivals aren't just being traditional: What their behavior may mean?

Psychology says people who never miss family dinners on festivals aren't simply following a routine. Their choice can reflect a need for belonging, emotional stability, family connection and continuity. Shared meals can strengthen relationships, reinforce identity and provide a predictable space during periods of stress. Psychology theories also explain why family rituals can support social bonds and emotional well-being.
