    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_cohesiveness

    Group cohesiveness, also called group cohesion, social harmony or social cohesion, is the degree or strength of bonds linking members of a social group to one another and to the group as a whole. [1] Although cohesion is a multi-faceted process, it can be broken down into four main components: social relations , task relations, perceived unity ...

  3. Cohesion (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    Cohesion is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a text together and gives it meaning. It is related to the broader concept of coherence. There are two main types of cohesion: grammatical cohesion: based on structural content; lexical cohesion: based on lexical content and background knowledge.

    High group cohesiveness: Cohesiveness is the main factor that leads to groupthink. Groups that lack cohesiveness can of course make bad decisions, but they do not experience groupthink. In a cohesive group, members avoid speaking out against decisions, avoid arguing with others, and work towards maintaining friendly relationships in the group.

    Mercury exhibits more cohesion than adhesion with glass Rain water flux from a canopy. Among the forces that govern drop formation: cohesion, surface tension, Van der Waals force, Plateau–Rayleigh instability. Water, for example, is strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules in a tetrahedral ...

    Cohesion (computer science), a measure of how well the lines of source code within a module work together; Cohesion (geology), the part of shear strength that is independent of the normal effective stress in mass movements; Cohesion (linguistics), the linguistic elements that make a discourse semantically coherent

  7. Cohesion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(computer_science)

    Cohesion is an ordinal type of measurement and is usually described as “high cohesion” or “low cohesion”. Modules with high cohesion tend to be preferable, because high cohesion is associated with several desirable software traits including robustness, reliability, reusability, and understandability. In contrast, low cohesion is ...

  8. Cohesion (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(geology)

    Cohesion is the component of shear strength of a rock or soil that is independent of interparticle friction. In soils, true cohesion is caused by following: Electrostatic forces in stiff overconsolidated clays (which may be lost through weathering) Cementing by Fe 2 O 3, Ca CO 3, Na Cl, etc. There can also be apparent cohesion. This is caused by:

  9. Lexical chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_chain

    A lexical chain is independent of the grammatical structure of the text and in effect it is a list of words that captures a portion of the cohesive structure of the text. A lexical chain can provide a context for the resolution of an ambiguous term and enable disambiguation of concepts that the term represents. Rome → capital → city → ...
