WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Seashore Group Cohesiveness Index Test

sport

This brief self-report measure is used to screen perceived cohesion within an intact group. The Seashore Group Cohesiveness Index asks respondents to rate their sense of belonging, unity, and interpersonal integration within the team or class.

Developed by Seashore, S., it consists of 5 items and typically requires about 1 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as an index of perceived group cohesiveness and may be used to inform further assessment, consultation, or team-focused intervention planning; the Seashore Group Cohesiveness Index is not a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
