Proposal for Senior Honors Thesis

1. The moderate relationship between internalization of Sabbath keeping and well-being will replicate in a new sample of Seventh-day Adventist young adults. 2. Need satisfaction, reported on a survey and coded from Sabbath keeping narratives (as in Philippe, Koestner, Beaulieu-Pelletier, & Lecours, 2011), will be positively related to well-being and internalization of Sabbath keeping. 3. For life-long Adventists, relationships to parents will be positively related to need satisfaction, wellbeing, and internalization of Sabbath keeping. 4. Need satisfaction and relationships to parents (for life-long Adventists) will mediate the relationship between internalization of Sabbath keeping and well-being.
