Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Westerhoff's stage of experienced faith, occurring in infancy and early adolescence, is described as a time when the individual experiences faith through interaction with others who are living a particular faith tradition. Owned faith in middle adulthood and old age puts faith into personal and social action. Affiliative faith in late adolescence is participating in activities that characterize a particular faith tradition. New faith is not one of Westerhoff's stages of faith.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

In Westerhoff's state of owned faith, in middle adulthood and old age, one puts faith into personal and social action and is willing to stand up for beliefs even against the nurturing community. Experienced faith in infancy and early adolescence means experiencing faith through interaction with others who are living a particular faith tradition. Affiliative faith in late adolescence is participating in activities that characterize a particular faith tradition. Searching faith in young adulthood lists the behavior development as a process of questioning and doubting one's own faith, acquiring a cognitive as well as an affective faith through this questioning.
