Abstract
Identifying which specific religious practices promote religious internalization is crucial in understanding the relationship between religious practice and well-being. The current study seeks to use an episodic memory recall technique along with surveys to examine whether the relationship between internalization of Sabbath-keeping and well-being is mediated by basic need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and parental environment. The relationships between Sabbath-keeping narratives, well-being, Sabbath-keeping internalization, need satisfaction, and perception of parental environment among life-long Adventists are also examined. I will discuss internalization of religion using the Self-Determination Theory-based models of Sabbath keeping proposed by Diddams, Surdyk, & Daniels (2004).

Identifying which specific religious practices promote religious internalization is crucial in understanding the relationship between religious practice and well-being. The current study seeks to use an episodic memory recall technique along with surveys to examine whether the relationship between internalization of Sabbath-keeping and well-being is mediated by basic need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and parental environment. The relationships between Sabbath-keeping narratives, well-being, Sabbath-keeping internalization, need satisfaction, and perception of parental environment among life-long Adventists are also examined. I will discuss internalization of religion using the Self-Determination Theory-based models of Sabbath keeping proposed by Diddams, Surdyk, & Daniels (2004).
