Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social cohesion is multileveled and includes both attraction to individuals and attraction to the group as a whole. The other options are not entirely true as researchers have not agreed on a single definition of cohesion, increases in attraction to specific individuals in the group may or may not lower cohesion depending on the context, and social identity theory does not specify a specific group size for developing cohesion.
