=== Cohesion measures ===
The level of [[Group cohesiveness|cohesion]] of a group also affects its social capital and vice versa.<ref>{{Cite book|chapter-url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320656629|title=Public Brainpower: Civil Society and Natural Resource Management|last=Overland|first=Indra|date=2018-01-01|pages=1–22|doi=10.1007/978-3-319-60627-9_1|chapter=Introduction: Civil Society, Public Debate and Natural Resource Management|isbn=978-3319606262|access-date=5 April 2018|archive-date=12 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140013/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320656629|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://my.vanderbilt.edu/perkins/files/2011/09/PerkinsLong.2002.Neighborhood_sense_of_communitysocial_capital.pdf|title=Perkins, D.D., & Long, D.A.
