Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group cohesion is characterized by a sense of unity, belongingness, and loyalty within a group. While it can lead to satisfaction with the group experience and goal attainment, it is unlikely to lead to a willingness to let others take responsibility for the group because members tend to become more protective of their group and its goals. Expression of positive and negative feelings is also likely in a cohesive group, as members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions with each other. However, the tendency to take on responsibility and not delegate it to others is in direct contrast to choice C.
