Roark, Albert E.; Sharah, Hussein S.

Small Group Behavior, v20 n1 p62-69 Feb 1989

Investigated the relationship of group cohesiveness to empathy, self-disclosure, acceptance, and trust, and compared three different groups (personal growth, driving under the influence, psychotherapy), with a total of 65 subjects, on measures of cohesiveness. Found all factors correlated significantly with cohesiveness and with one another. (Author/ABL)
