Abstract
This study examined the effects of membership in a personal growth group on group cohesiveness within a women's gymnastics team. 15 gymnasts were randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group. The treatment group ( n = 8) met weekly for 15 1-hr. sessions while the control group ( n = 7) received additional practice. Prior to the start of the season (and again at the conclusion) subjects were administered the Group Environment Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Sport Cohesive Instrument, and the Team Climate Questionnaire. Analysis of covariance and binomial expansion showed a significant increase in cohesiveness within the treated group.
