Les resultats d'une experience sur un petit groupe mettent en lumiere l'ambiguite du comportement tension‐retraite en tant qu'indicateur de la cohesion de groupe. Les donnees revelent une forte incidence de tension et “d'isoles anticipant leur isolement” dans un sous‐groupe a haut niveau de cohesion. L'analyse et l'inter‐pretation decelerent un pattern causal entrainant une definition de la situation par les membres de ce sous‐groupe particulier. Des sentiments d'obligation et d'inap‐titude, lies a la situation de distribution de recompense, ont apparemment suscite une forte tension et des sentiments de rejet. La situation particuliere avait a la fois engendre dans le meme groupe une grande cohesion et une forte tension. The results of a small group experiment indicated the ambiguity of tension‐withdrawal behaviour as an index of group cohesion. Data revealed a high incidence of tension and of “self‐expected isolates” in a highly cohesive group‐type. Analysis and interpretation indicated a causal pattern involving the definition of the situation by members of this particular group‐type. Feelings of obligation and of inadequacy due to the reward‐distribution situation apparently resulted in great tension and feelings of rejection. The particular situation had generated both high cohesion and high tension in the same group
