Group cohesiveness (also called group cohesion and social cohesion) arises when bonds link members of a social group to one another and to the group as a whole. Although cohesion is a multi-faceted process, it can be broken down into four main components: social relations, task relations, perceived unity, and emotions. Members of strongly cohesive groups are more inclined to participate readily and to stay with the group.
Definition
There are different ways to define group cohesion, depending on how researchers conceptualize this concept. However, most researchers define cohesion to be task commitment and interpersonal attraction to the group.
Cohesion can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members. This definition includes important aspects of cohesiveness, including its multidimensionality, dynamic nature, instrumental basis, and emotional dimension. Its multidimensionality refers to how cohesion is based on many factors. Its dynamic nature refers to how it gradually changes over time in its strength and form from the time a group is formed to when a group is disbanded. Its instrumental basis refers to how people cohere for some purpose, whether it be for a task or for social reasons. Its emotional dimension refers to how cohesion is pleasing to its group members. This definition can be generalized to most groups characterized by the group definition discussed above. These groups include sports teams, work groups, military units, fraternity groups, and social groups. However, it is important to note that other researchers claim that cohesion cannot be generalized across many groups.

Inequalities around the world, political polarization and persisting violent conflicts have triggered an increasing interest in social cohesion. In reaction to these trends, an increasing number of projects in development cooperation aim to improve social cohesion. However, many questions remain on what actually makes societies stick together and how development cooperation can contribute to improving social cohesion in highly diverse settings. In order to foster an international dialogue on the topic, the workshop brings together a variety of different perspectives on social cohesion in development policy – efforts to conceptualize and measure social cohesion, project implementation ...

Social Cohesion
In our new series, The New Generation Voices, the Bertelsmann Foundation in partnership with Humanity in Action Germany has created a collection of digital animations portraying how young Germans and Americans see common global challenges and how the future can be shaped best by working together.
So, what does social cohesion look like from since the COVID-19 pandemic? What does this mean for society and civic engagement? We explore these questions in our first animation, Social Cohesion. Activism is here to stay. While activism may not look the same as it did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, society has proven that social cohesion is here to stay.
This animation is part of the Wunderbar Together 2021 initiative that aims to promote the importance of robust German-American relations.

Inequalities around the world, political polarization and persisting violent conflicts have triggered an increasing interest in social cohesion. In reaction to these trends, an increasing number of projects in development cooperation aim to improve social cohesion. However, many questions remain on what actually makes societies stick together and how development cooperation can contribute to improving social cohesion in highly diverse settings. In order to foster an international dialogue on the topic, the workshop brings together a variety of different perspectives on social cohesion in development policy – efforts to conceptualize and measure social cohesion, project implementation and different theories of change as well as strategy development. German Development Institute (DEI) organised a two day workshop titled: Contributing to Social Cohesion Through Development Cooperation – Trends, Approaches and Challenges. The workshop aimed to enable in-depth exchange on the topic, identify commonalities and challenges related to understanding and promoting social cohesion and learn from each other’s experiences. The workshop was organized on behalf of DIE’s research project “Social cohesion in Africa", which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It comprises a team of researchers who are measuring social cohesion in order to identify different patterns of social cohesion in African societies and conduct research on driving factors of social cohesion.
