724 people were surveyed and asked about their habits at the dinner table.
Focussing on one area in particular, the survey asked about arguments at the table at what the common causes were.
And the most common cause for tension at the table was technology.
Over 70pc of people said that technology was the main cause of arguments at meal times.
And nearly 20pc of those say that it causes a problem at least five nights a week.
The survey carried out by Dolmio revealed that two-thirds of parents think that “technology has a negative impact on dinner time at home with the family.”
While nearly 50pc of parents failed to change the situation, 82pc of those who did said there was a huge improvement in family morale with meal times becoming a lot more enjoyable.
Dolmio also secretly filmed families at the dinner table to show just how bad the situation can become.
