Group cohesion is exactly what it sounds like. It's the sense of belonging and loyalty to the group to which people feel like they belong. Groups are more cohesive when the members feel like they belong more to the group. Group cohesion is how close you are and feel to the members in it. You don't have to physically be stuck in a pumpkin or tied up by Christmas lights to feel cohesive in your groups. A very cohesive group can lead to group think. Group think is the tendency for overly cohesive groups to make poor choices by enforcing too much conformity. This is common in cults and religious groups.
