Group Cohesiveness: Group cohesiveness is a temporally fluid multi-dimensional construct

The multi-dimensional structures of group cohesiveness (task, interpersonal and group pride) emerge temporally and are constructed at an individual-level as primary, secondary and tertiary bonds from each individual and which co-exist depending on the group’s purpose and the personal motivations of the group member.  These bonds can be temporally fluid.
