本研究主要在探討團隊大小對團隊凝聚力之影響,以選修木球課之學生爲受試者(N=198),皆無木球訓練或比賽經驗,平均年齡爲19.6(SD=1.3)。研究以實驗法進行,先讓受試者接受七週的木球課程,之後徵得受試者同意,於學期期中測驗時分組並測量團隊凝聚力;分組乃以抽籤方式將受試者分成「三人組」、「六人組」以及「九人組」,分組後告訴受試者:測驗成績將以組別總得分除以該組人數即為期中成績,並於測驗後進行團隊凝聚力的評量。經分析顯示,「九人組」之工作凝聚力高於「三人組」與「六人組」,「九人組」之社會凝聚力亦高於「六人組」與「三人組」,進一步經趨勢分析顯示,團隊大小之工作凝聚力與社會凝聚呈二次趨向,表示團隊大小對團隊凝聚力有影響存在。
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of group size on group cohesion. The participants were 198 college students who enrolled in wood-ball PE class and did not have training or competition experience. And their average age is19.56.This study was an experimental study. First, participants were received a seven-week wood-ball training. Under their agreement, we divide them into group sand test their cohesion in the middle of the semester. We used draw lots to divide participants into three, six, and nine. After that, we tell participants that the test score is group total score dividing the group members. It is their mid-term score. And then, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire, which assess group cohesion. Trend analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicated group size in task cohesion and social cohesion has straight line and two trend. It is concluded that the group size did effect on group cohesion.
