Group cohesiveness
Bonding between members of a group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group cohesiveness, also called group cohesion or social cohesion, arises when bonds link members of a social group to one another and to the group as a whole.[1] Although cohesion is a multi-faceted process, it can be broken down into four main components: social relations, task relations, perceived unity, and emotions.[2] Members of strongly cohesive groups are more inclined to participate readily and to stay with the group.[3]
