How members fit together and are accepted in a group.
 Groups are not able to function effectively unless there is a fairly
high level of social integration among members
Social Control Mechanisms – the processes by which the group-as-a-
whole gains sufficient compliance and conformity from its members to
enable it to function in an orderly manner.
“Social order and stability are prerequisites for the formation and
maintenance of a cohesive group.”
