Group Cohesiveness, Deviation, Stress, and Conformity

Abstract

The survival and performance of several types of groups (e.g., astronaut crews and military units) depend on the quality of the members' interaction .Group cohesiveness has been assumed to have a positive effect on group members' performance, interaction, and well-being. However, results of studies have been contradictory. The inconsistency can be partially attributed to absence of a conceptual mechanism linking group cohesiveness with social behavior.
