Overview

This review proposes a new theoretical model for cohesion in sports, suggesting a two-dimensional approach involving task and social integration.

Key Points

  • A critical reevaluation of cohesion reveals vital gaps in understanding its role within groups, particularly in sports contexts.
  • The study identifies key components of cohesion, suggesting that interdependence and social identity significantly impact group dynamics.
  • Conceptualizing cohesion through a two-dimensional model of task and social integration facilitates better understanding of group unity in sports.
  • Proposed future research agenda aims to address existing deficiencies in the cohesion literature, enhancing both theory and practice.
