The effects of having new individuals join a team introduce competitive and cooperative actions that are challenging to groups. Employing socialization tactics that provide tailored role information and cultivate opportunities for social connection is positively related to perceptions of cohesion. However, the socialization process likely relies on the specific actions undertaken by members of the group on their own behalf (i.e., proactivity behaviors). The purpose of the present study was to examine how individual proactive behaviors interact with the group's socialization tactics to predict group cohesion. Athletes' (N = 398) responses to surveys were analyzed via polynomial regressions and response surface analyses to examine the independent and interactive effects of the predictor variables on cohesion. The results pointed to the importance of employing socialization tactics that can work in tandem with proactive behaviors, such that both approaches contributed uniquely to the integration of new and existing members on sport teams.

将团队成员聚集在一起：社交策略和主动性与凝聚力的交集。


让新人加入团队的效果会引入竞争和合作行动，这对团队来说是一个挑战。采用提供量身定制的角色信息和培养社会联系机会的社会化策略与凝聚力的感知呈正相关。然而，社会化过程可能取决于群体成员代表自己采取的具体行动（即主动行为）。本研究的目的是检查个人主动行为如何与群体的社交策略相互作用以预测群体凝聚力。通过多项式回归和响应面分析分析运动员 （N = 398） 对调查的回答，以检查预测变量对内聚力的独立和交互影响。结果指出了采用可以与主动行为协同工作的社会化策略的重要性，因此这两种方法都为运动队新成员和现有成员的整合做出了独特的贡献。
