Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of group cohesiveness, which refers to the strength of the bonds linking members of a group and their motivation to stay part of the group.
Recognize that factors influencing group cohesiveness typically include shared characteristics, goals, and positive interactions among members.
Analyze each option: 'Similarity among group members' tends to increase cohesiveness because shared traits and values promote connection and understanding.
'High levels of conflict' usually decrease cohesiveness as conflict creates tension and division within the group.
'Lack of shared goals' reduces cohesiveness since common objectives unite members and give purpose to the group.
'Large group size' can sometimes reduce cohesiveness because it may be harder to maintain close relationships and coordination in bigger groups.
