The Measurement of Cohesion and its Relationship to Dimensions of Self-Disclosure in Classroom Settings

Abstract: It is the purpose of this investigation to assess the relationship between cohesion and dimensions of self-disclosure in small classroom groups. Highly cohesive groups were characterized by individuals' perceptions of other group members' self-disclosures as unintentional, positive, and less than honest and by perceptions of their own disclosures as honest. Results, which contradict findings of studies using therapy groups, are explained with reference to appropriate self-disclosure in nontherapeutic settings.

“…Group cohesion is viewed as the single strongest predictor of group behavior (Evans and Dion 1991;Goodman et al 1987;Guzzo and Shea 1992;Guzzo and Dickson 1996;Mullen and Copper 1994) and plays a central role in social psychology, group dynamics, military psychology, sport psychology, educational psychology, psychological addiction, and group support systems (Turner et al 1992;Stokes 1983;Griffith and Greenlees 1993;Widmeyer and Williams 1991;Rosenfeld and Gilbert 1989;Lando and McGovern 1991;Chidambaram 1996). Indeed, group cohesion has been an active part of research in almost every domain of psychology that deals with group behavior (Chin et al 1999).…”
