 Unit Cohesion and the Military Mission
A group with high task cohesion is composed of members who share a common goal and who are motivated to coordinate their efforts as a team to achieve that goal.
Meta-analyses of studies of the cohesion-performance relationship indicate that a modest positive relationship exists between cohesion and performance, and is greater when a group task requires high levels of coordination, communication, and performance monitoring among group members.
The authors of one study even asserted that the effect of success on cohesion appears to be greater than the effect of cohesion on performance (Mullen and Copper, 1994), although the authors of another study (Gully et al., 1995) argued that too few appropriate studies are currently available to permit any conclusion about causality.

 cohesion concept from the Object Oriented Software Engineering knowledge base
Sequential cohesion is effectively a strong form of temporal cohesion, but is weaker than communicational cohesion since different data types may be involved in the different stages of a sequentially cohesive module.
Utility cohesion is the weakest kind of cohesion since it serves to group together those parts of the system that do not seem to logically belong anywhere else.

 Social Cohesion
· Social cohesion was measured by asking King County adults in a survey 5 questions about levels of trust in their neighborhood and 5 questions about the likelihood that their neighbors could be counted on to intervene in various problem situations.
It is important to note that this measure is based on neighborhood level perceptions of cohesion and not cohesion within cultural or ethnic groups.
The neighborhood social cohesion measures are from the King County Community Health Survey, 1999, which used questions on trust and informal social control from the study, "Neighborhoods and Violent Crime: A Multilevel Study of Collective Efficacy" (Robert J. Sampson, Stephen W. Raudenbush, and Felton).

Cohesive means that a certain class performs a set of closely related actions.
A lack of cohesion, on the other hand, means that a class is performing several unrelated tasks.
Though lack of cohesion may never have an impact on the overall functionality of a particular class—or of the application itself—the application software will eventually become unmanageable as more and more behaviours become scattered and end up in wrong places.
