Group cohesiveness

Levels of trust are higher in countries with lower economic inequality.

Group cohesiveness, also called group cohesion, social harmony or social cohesion, is the degree or strength of bonds linking members of a social group to one another and to the group as a whole.[1] Although cohesion is a multi-faceted process, it can be broken down into four main components: social relations, task relations, perceived unity, and emotions.[2] Members of strongly cohesive groups are more inclined to participate readily and to stay with the group.[3]
