Can High Group Cohesion Be Harmful?
2009
High group cohesion is considered to be beneficial and lead to better performance. This qualitative case study describes a case in which high social cohesion led to a deterioration in a team's performance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between performance in a team sport and social psychological group phenomena such as cohesion, conformity, groupthink, and group polarization. The participants were members of a junior-league ice-hockey team, consisting of three adult coaches and 22 players aged 15 to 16 years. The data were derived from an interview with the main coach, continuous observation by the principal researcher, and a diary based on observations …
Testing relations between group cohesion and satisfaction in project teams: A cross-level and cross-lagged approach
2014
Based on a two-dimensional perspective of group cohesion, this study examines the emergence of task cohesion and interpersonal cohesion in project teams and their roles in changes in members’ individual satisfaction with the team. Specifically, we tested a direct-effect and mediation model of the cross-level relationship between team task and interpersonal cohesion and individual satisfaction with the team over time. With a sample of 74 newly created project teams, the hypotheses were tested using a two-wave panel design. Results indicate that task cohesion emerges more strongly than interpersonal cohesion during the first stages of work in project teams. Moreover, the cross-lagged relation…
Team Feedback Intervention and Team Learning in Virtual Teams: A Moderated Mediation Model of Team Cohesion and Personality
2018
Part 2: ICT4D and Improvement of ICTs; International audience; Scholars and practitioners agree that virtual teams (VTs) have become commonplace in today’s digital workplace. Relevant literature argues that learning constitutes a significant contributor to team member satisfaction and performance, and that, at least in face-to-face teams, team cohesion fosters team learning. Given the additional challenges VTs face, e.g. geographical dispersion, which are likely to have a negative influence on cohesion, in this paper we shed light on the relationship between team cohesion and team learning. We adopted a quantitative approach and studied 54 VTs in our quest to understand the role of feedback…
Team Coordination in Basketball: Description of the Cognitive Connections Among Teammates
2010
International audience; This study investigated team coordination in basketball using the course-of-action theoretical framework. The focus was on how the players were connected with their teammates' activities. The activity of five French basketball players (17.60 ± .89 years) was studied during an official match. The data were collected and processed according to a procedure defined for course-of-action analysis. The results were used to characterize the coordination modes among players and the team coordination network that was built. The processes that underlie team coordination are discussed (i.e., mutuality and awareness), and some directions for practical applications are addressed.

Reviving the EU project: from values to new territorial development models
2020
Le but de cet article est d’analyser les relations entre l'aménagement du territoire, la cohésion territoriale (comme but à atteindre et comme politique) et les valeurs qui sous-tendent le projet de l'Union européenne (UE). Les territoires, les cultures et l’histoire des pays de l'UE peuvent jouer un rôle afin de redéfinir l'UE comme modèle social et politique de référence à l'échelle mondiale. Dans la « nouvelle grande transition » (écologique, économique, sociale, urbaine, féministe, démocratique…), la dimension territoriale et les politiques publiques jouent un rôle clé dans la définition des futurs possibles : nouveau modèle de développement économique, nouveaux modèles spatiaux et nouv…
NUMERAL CONSTRUCTIONS IN SPOKEN ITALIAN AND SPANISH: FROM QUANTITATIVE APPROXIMATION TO INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
2019
Two general considerations can derived from all the considered data. Firstly, it is possible to trace a continuum of NuCxs based on their degree of cohesion, fixedness, specificity and idiomaticity, which correlates with the kind of approximate or vague meaning and function. The more the NuCxs become idiomatic the less they express quantity. In many cases, the constructions acquire a pragmatic value and codify a manner of express the degree of commitment, the attitude of the speakers and the kind of relationship s/he would like to enter into with the addressee. In these cases, the various levels of vagueness are often thickly intertwined and not easily untangled. Secondly, the approximate n…
Abstract nouns as metadiscursive shells in academic discourse
2018
El discurs acadèmic es caracteritza per l’abundància de noms abstractes, com ara anàlisi, recerca, procés, concepte, aproximació o rol. Considerats mecanismes cohesius, atès que el seu significat discursiu es determina per referència al context en què apareixen, han rebut denominacions diverses en la bibliografia anglosaxona (anaphoric, signaling, carrier, shell o metadiscursive nouns). A partir de les propostes de Schmid (2000) i Jiang i Hyland (2016, 2017), aquest article explora la funció metadiscursiva d’aquests noms com a encapsuladors d’informacions complexes en un corpus de resums acadèmics elaborats per estudiants universitaris per als seus Treballs de Final de Grau. El treball abor…
Inclusive Education from Musical Competence and its Application Neuropsychological for Social Cohesion in Secondary School
2022
Debido al paso de la niñez a la adolescencia surgen cambios bioquímicos que alteran el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje con niveles de abandono en la etapa Secundaria. Los profesores de música preocupados por el desarrollo personal, académico y emocional de los alumnos deben proponer recursos inclusivos e innovadores en el currículo escolar desde la perspectiva de las neurociencias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la importancia de la experiencia musical en la etapa de Secundaria y cómo la percibe el alumnado desde el modelo de cohesión social, donde se confirma el constructo de Competencia Musical, que se enmarca dentro del proyecto Secs Evalnecs: diseño de un modelo de evaluación …
