P-24 Sabbath-Keeping Experiences: The Relationships Between Religious Internalization, Well-Being, and Need Support
Abstract
In this study I examine a possible correlation between Sabbath-keeping experiences and well-being as a function of Religious Internalization levels. I also ask whether that relationship is mediated by need satisfaction. My sample included Seventh-day Adventist community church goers. I surveyed various congregations about their Sabbath-keeping experiences, need satisfaction, and overall well-being. To ensure that my sample consisted of church goers, I only surveyed members at the church service. I predict that a higher level of religious internalization of Sabbath-keeping practices and fulfillment of need satisfaction will be more conducive to well-being.
