摘要：The purpose of the current study was to examine perceptions of team cohesiveness in Tunisian sport elite children aged 9 to 12 years. Eighty-one young Tunisian athletes (43 males, 38 females) age 10.34±1.87 years, from four elementary schools in the city of Tunisian voluntarily participated in this study. This work is designed to examine participants’ perceptions of (a) the definition of cohesion and indicators of cohesive and no-cohesive groups and (b) methods used to attempt to develop cohesion in their groups. Overall, the results demonstrated that Tunisian sportive children understand the concept of cohesion and comprehend the phenomenon known as cohesion. Specifically, participant distinct to both task cohesion and social cohesion, describe the characteristics of cohesive and non-cohesive teams and identify methods used to attempt to develop cohesion in their groups.
