Cohesion01:07

Cohesion

55.9K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

99
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model

935
Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data.
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

433
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Polarity of the Cytoskeleton01:18

Polarity of the Cytoskeleton

19.2K
The intrinsic polarity of cells can be primarily attributed to two factors- i) the asymmetric accumulation of mobile components such are regulatory molecules and subcellular components across the cell and ii) the orientation of polar cytoskeletal filaments that make up the cytoskeletal networks, specifically microfilaments, and microtubules arranged along the axis of polarity. Interactions between the cytoskeletal filaments are crucial for the establishment and maintenance of the polar nature...

Cohesins02:20

Cohesins

4.7K
Cohesin protein complexes are a molecular glue that holds two sister chromatids together. They play an important role both in mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, all cohesin complexes present on the chromosomes are removed before the start of the anaphase stage.
Cohesin complexes in Meiotic Division
Meiosis involves two distinct rounds of chromosomal segregation and cell divisions— Meiosis I followed by Meiosis II – producing four daughter cells. Meiosis I includes the separation of...

Area of Science:

  • Sport Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Group Dynamics

Background:

  • Cohesion, or group unity, is widely studied in various contexts, particularly in sport.
  • Current understanding heavily relies on Carron's (1985) framework and the Group Environment Questionnaire.
  • Revisiting theoretical bases offers opportunities for improved conceptualization and measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review the existing literature on sport cohesion.
  • To identify concerns with the current theoretical framework and definitions of cohesion.
  • To propose a revised, two-dimensional model of cohesion (task and social integration) and a future research agenda.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and critical analysis of existing theories on sport cohesion.
  • Revisiting the foundational work of Carron and colleagues (1985).
  • Developing a new conceptual model for cohesion based on identified theoretical gaps.

Main Results:

  • Identified several concerns with the current state of knowledge regarding sport cohesion.
  • Proposed a two-dimensional model of cohesion encompassing task and social integration.
  • Suggested linking key inputs like interdependence, social identity, and teamwork to group unity.

Conclusions:

  • There is a pressing need to reconceptualize the construct of cohesion in sport.
  • The proposed theoretical model and research agenda aim to reinvigorate cohesion research.
  • Refined conceptualization can better link antecedents to group functioning and outcomes.
