Consider This 8.3 How cohesive is a particular group you
belong to? To assess your own feelings, take the brief Perceived Cohesion
Scale below, using the following scale: strongly agree, 7 points; quite agree,
6; slightly agree, 5; neither agree nor disagree, 4; slightly disagree, 3;
quite disagree, 2; strongly disagree, 1. 1. I
feel that I belong to this group. 2. I
am happy to be part of this group. 3. I
see myself as part of this group. 4. This
group is one of the best anywhere. 5. I
feel that I am a member of this group. 6. I
am content to be part of this group. Add up your points. The higher the number, the more cohesiveness you feel.
You may want to ask your fellow group members to take the scale and discuss
results within the group. To what extent do you believe this scale captures
what you think of as cohesiveness? |
