Participants were students at a mid-sized university. Specifically, correlations between extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness, positive and negative trait affect, and positive and negative WEC were examined using correlational analyses and hierarchical linear modeling. Group cohesion was assessed as an outcome variable of WEC. Some individual-level variables significantly related to WEC and high positive WEC was positively related to cohesion. Implications and future research are discussed.enCollege of Education and Human Service ProfessionsDepartment of PsychologyMaster of ArtsPlan Bs (project-based master's degrees)University of Minnesota DuluthMaster of Arts in Psychological ScienceIndustrial-Organizational trackScholarly Text or Essay
