本文回顾了外部冲突增加内部凝聚力这一命题的理论表述和实证检验。讨论了社会学、人类学、心理学和政治学的文献。虽然它通常被认为是正确的并且很容易说明，但实证研究表明存在许多干预变量，并且该假设并不完全正确。虽然还不够充分，但这些实证研究提供了对假设的更微妙的说明，这些知识可以引导研究人员以不同的方式构建他们的研究。提供了这样的示例，并且还讨论了其他应用领域。
The paper reviews the theoretical formulations and the empirical tests of the proposition that external conflict increases internal cohesion. Literature from sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science is discussed. Though it is often assumed to be true and is easily illustrated, the empirical studies suggest that there are a number of intervening variables and that the hypothesis is not uniformly true. While hardly adequate, these empirical studies provide a subtler specification of the hypothesis, knowledge of which can lead researchers to structure their studies differently. Examples of this are provided and other areas of application are also discussed.
