Group cohesion is a parameter that demonstrates the level of integration of a group or collective of people. The coefficient of group cohesion in sociometry can be identified if a large amount of work is done to calculate the data in the sociometric matrix, and then to highlight the indicators of group cohesion and disunity. But if you think that to calculate the index of group cohesion is possible only with the help of complex and lengthy in the processing and interpretation of techniques, then you are mistaken. It is much easier to do this with the help of a methodology consisting of only 5 questions, which we will consider and learn how to use further.
Group cohesion of Sisora
At the beginning of the last century, psychology began to actively develop methods that allow us to identify the intra-collective climate, hidden disagreements, etc. for their elimination in the future. It was revealed that the ability of each person to join the team is influenced by several groups of factors:
- environmental factors;
- personal factors;
- factors of the team;
- factors of leadership.
The definition of group cohesion of Sishora plays a huge role in the already formed collectives, which for a long time can not establish interpersonal relations.
This technique not only makes it possible to unite the collective even more with the help of revealing its "unattached" members, but also, as a result, to increase the efficiency of its work and the overall level of profitability of the enterprise.

- 7-11.5 average;
- 4 - 6,9 - below average;
