Summary/Abstract: The current article investigates the validation of a scale designed to measure cohesion within class groups (middle school level) taking into account various number of cohesion indicators, such as: belonging to a group and analysing the relationships between its members, the level of implication and participation of the members in activities, the satisfaction of the members towards being part of their group related to the benefits. The questionnaire that includes the scale was distributed to a sample (the selection was determined theoretically). All the respondents were middle school pupils. The results are tracking how the cohesion scale is validated taking into account the statistical perspective and the content of the items in relation with the research’s objectives.
