Grounded theory is a qualitative research methodology developed in the 1960s by sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss. It involves collecting and analyzing data to develop theories grounded in the data itself. The key steps include coding data through open, axial and selective coding to categorize concepts and identify core themes. Memo writing and theoretical sampling are used to refine categories as analysis proceeds. Saturation is reached when no new concepts emerge. Challenges include addressing bias and balancing openness and existing knowledge.
Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that aims to develop theories inductively from data. It begins with data collection and analysis to allow concepts and theories to emerge from the data rather than testing a predetermined hypothesis. Grounded theory was developed in the 1960s by sociologists Glaser and Strauss and has since split into different paradigms including Straussian, Glaserian, and Constructivist approaches. The key aspects of grounded theory include coding data through open, axial, and selective coding to develop categories and concepts into a theoretical framework or model.
Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that uses a systematic process of data collection and inductive analysis to develop a theory about a phenomenon. The key aspects of grounded theory are that data collection and analysis occur simultaneously to allow codes, concepts, and categories to emerge from the data rather than testing a predetermined hypothesis. Grounded theory was developed in the 1960s by sociologists Glaser and Strauss and focuses on uncovering social processes through exploring relationships and behaviors. It has since evolved, with differing approaches emerging between Glaser and Strauss.
Thematic analysis is a 6-step method for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns or themes within qualitative data. It involves: 1) becoming familiar with the data through transcription and reading, 2) generating initial codes to label important features, 3) searching for themes by sorting different codes into potential themes, 4) reviewing themes by checking if they fit the coded extracts and entire data set, 5) defining and refining the themes, and 6) producing the final analysis and reporting of the themes. Thematic analysis allows for flexibility in analyzing various types of qualitative data to understand people's experiences, perspectives, and views on a research topic.
This document discusses grounded theory research design. It explains that grounded theory is used to generate a theory about a process based on data. The researcher collects and analyzes data simultaneously to develop categories and a core category that explains the process. Three types of grounded theory designs are described: systematic, emergent, and constructivist. Key aspects of grounded theory include exploring a process, theoretical sampling, constant comparison analysis, identifying a core category, and memo writing. Ethical challenges may arise regarding the study's purpose and power dynamics in interviewing. The steps of a grounded theory study and elements of a good grounded theory report are also outlined.
This document outlines four types of research designs: historical, descriptive, experimental, and case study. It then focuses on historical research, defining it as a scientific inquiry into past events using critical analysis to understand facts relevant to current issues. Historical research applies critical thinking to test other researchers' observations and seeks to establish the truth. It involves persistent and patient collection and verification of evidence from various sources to shed light on problems, continuity between past and present, and human achievements over time. The major steps of historical research are recognizing a problem, gathering relevant information, forming hypotheses, analyzing evidence, and reporting conclusions.
The document discusses grounded theory method and provides details on its key aspects:
- It defines grounded theory as a research method that generates or discovers a theory from data systematically obtained from social research.
- The main building blocks of grounded theory are discussed including coding, categories, concepts, theoretical sampling, constant comparison and memo writing.
- Strengths are that it effectively builds new theories and explains new phenomena, while weaknesses include the huge amount of time and data required for analysis.

Grounded theory is a systematic qualitative research methodology that uses inductive reasoning to generate new theories about a phenomenon. Rather than starting with a hypothesis, grounded theory involves collecting data through methods like interviews and observations, then coding and analyzing the data to discover concepts and relationships that help explain the process or interaction being studied. The theory is "grounded" in the data. Grounded theory was developed in the 1960s by sociologists Glaser and Strauss and involves open, selective, and theoretical coding to iteratively build theories directly supported by the data. It is useful for exploring new domains and leveraging human tendencies to interpret and theorize.
This document provides an overview of quantitative research and report writing. It discusses the researcher's responsibility to report findings to stakeholders and communicate practical significance. It also describes the main differences between style manuals, particularly the American Psychological Association (APA) style. The main parts of a research report are outlined as the title, abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, conclusion, references, and appendix.
The descriptive method is used to gather information about existing conditions and explore causes of phenomena. It involves collecting data to test hypotheses or answer questions about the current status of what is being studied. Information can be obtained through personal interviews, surveys, observation, use of measurement devices, case studies, surveys, developmental studies, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, and documentary analysis. While the descriptive method provides useful information, it has limitations including lack of breadth, difficulty generalizing findings, and potential for bias. Researchers must take care to properly employ the method and avoid simply information gathering rather than true research.
Grounded theory is a qualitative research method introduced in 1967 by Glaser and Strauss. It involves developing a theory grounded in data that is systematically gathered and analyzed through the constant comparative method. This iterative process involves collecting data, analyzing through coding and memo writing, and sorting memos to develop conceptual categories to generate an emergent theory. The theory should fit and work to explain the phenomenon under study. Grounded theory challenges assumptions that qualitative research is not systematic or rigorous and aims to develop conceptual theories rather than just descriptive case studies.
The document discusses several key ethical issues in research including principles of ethics in research, the role of internal review boards, and types of misconduct. The main points covered are:
- The four main principles of ethics in research are protection from harm, informed consent, right to privacy, and honesty with professional colleagues.
- An internal review board reviews all research proposals and must approve any study before it begins to ensure ethical standards are followed.
- Misconduct in research can include fraud, falsification of data, plagiarism, failure to comply with requirements, and other unacceptable practices. Upholding integrity in research is important.

Grounded theory is a systematic, qualitative research method used to generate theories through data analysis of a process or phenomenon. Key aspects of grounded theory include theoretical sampling to collect data to develop concepts, constant comparison analysis to categorize data and identify relationships between concepts, and memo writing to document analytical ideas. The goal is to develop a core category and explanatory theoretical model grounded in the data that explains relationships between concepts. Strengths include theory emergence from data and flexibility, while weaknesses include extensive data requirements and lack of prescriptiveness.
Grounded theory is a qualitative research method involving the discovery of theory through the analysis of data. It was developed by sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss, who felt researchers needed a method to move from data to theory to develop new, contextualized theories. The method involves collecting data through various means, then coding and categorizing it to identify concepts and their relationships. Researchers constantly compare data and emerging concepts through steps like theoretical sampling and saturation to build a theory grounded in the data.
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.
Chapter - 1
The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
The document discusses trends in qualitative research methods. It provides an overview of basic qualitative approaches like phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, case studies, discourse analysis, and narrative analysis. A survey of strategic management research from 2007-2012 found that qualitative methods were used in only 9% of papers, far less frequently than quantitative methods. However, qualitative research is growing in some fields. A 2020 study found education and science research relies heavily on quantitative methods, while qualitative approaches are more common in arts and law. The document examines paradigms and trends in the use and distribution of various qualitative research designs.
This document discusses grounded theory (GT) as a qualitative research methodology. It explains that GT was developed as an alternative to positivist approaches that aim to test preconceived hypotheses. GT instead uses an inductive process to generate explanatory theory directly from data about people's social roles and behaviors. The document outlines GT's key aspects, including open, axial, and theoretical coding processes. It also covers grounded theory procedures such as theoretical sampling, data collection methods, and steps for developing and presenting a GT.

This document defines research and outlines key aspects of the research process. It discusses the importance of research for adding to knowledge, improving practice, and informing policy. Four common research paradigms are described: postpositivist, constructivist, transformative, and pragmatic. Quantitative and qualitative research characteristics and designs are compared. The major steps in the research process are identified as identifying a problem, reviewing literature, developing research questions, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings.
This document provides information on the course "Research Methodology and Intellectual Property Rights" including the course objectives, outcomes, and modules. The course objectives are to understand research basics, literature reviews, citations, and ethics in engineering research. It also covers intellectual property rights concepts. The first module introduces research meaning, objectives, types, and ethics.
This document outlines the methodology used in a research study. It describes the research design as descriptive to provide in-depth analysis and understanding. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data came from recent research papers. The deductive approach was used to develop hypotheses based on existing theories. The positivism philosophy was applied to quantitatively analyze secondary data sources using statistical methods. Both quantitative and qualitative secondary data in the form of transcripts were analyzed to identify themes and critically evaluate sustainability trends related to the research topic.
This document discusses qualitative research methods and mixing methods approaches. It begins by defining different qualitative research types like case studies, grounded theory, phenomenology, and ethnography. It then discusses multi-strategy research, noting both advantages like breaking down qual-quant divides, but also difficulties integrating methods from different epistemological perspectives. The document outlines arguments for and against mixing methods and different versions of the debate. It also discusses triangulation strategies and other mixed methods approaches like sequential or concurrent designs.
This document discusses different research approaches and philosophical worldviews that inform them. It defines qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches. Qualitative research explores meanings and understands problems through emerging questions and flexible reporting. Quantitative research tests theories through measurable variables and statistical analysis with a set report structure. Mixed methods combines qualitative and quantitative data and designs. Research approaches involve philosophical assumptions, research designs, and specific methods.

Grounded Theory Qualitative Research MethodPpt
1.
2. Historical overview and key contributors
• Grounded theory is a qualitative research methodology that was developed
in the 1960s by sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss.
• Their collaboration in research on dying hospital patients led them to write
the book Awareness of Dying. In this research, they developed the constant
comparative method, later known as the Grounded Theory Method
• Glaser and Strauss published their seminal work, 'The Discovery of
Grounded Theory: Strategies for Qualitative Research,' in 1967.
• Glasser and Strauss Later diverged in their view of Grounded theory
• Other key contributors to the development of grounded theory include
Kathy Charmaz, who expanded on the role of reflexivity and theoretical
sensitivity in the research process
3. Grounded Theory
• The phrase “Grounded theory” refers to the theory that is developed
Inductively from a corpus of data
• Grounded theory is a research method that operates almost in a reverse
fashion from traditional research. Rather than beginning with the
hypothesis, the 1st step is data collection.
• A grounded theory design is a systematic, qualitative procedure used
to generate a theory that explains, at a broad conceptual level, a
process, and action, or an interaction about a substantive topic
(Creswell, 2008).
• “Grounded theory is the study of a concept! It is not a descriptive
study of a descriptive problem” (Glaser,2010).
4. Theoretical Underpinnings of Grounded
Theory
• Inductive Reasoning and Theory Development:
• emphasizes inductive reasoning, allowing researchers to derive general principles from specific
observations (Glaser & Strauss, 1967).
• By starting with empirical data and systematically developing theories from these observations,
researchers can ensure that their theoretical frameworks are firmly grounded in the data they have
collected (Charmaz, 2014).
• Symbolic Interactionism and Pragmatism:
• The application of symbolic interactionism within GT underscores the importance of understanding
how individuals construct meaning through their social interactions (Blumer, 1969).
• Furthermore, the pragmatic approach emphasizes the practical consequences of actions and the
need for empirical validation in theory development (Mills, 1940).
• Emergence of Concepts and Categories:
• allows for the organic emergence of concepts and categories from the data, ensuring that the
resulting theories are firmly grounded in the lived experiences of the participants (Charmaz, 2006).
• This process helps researchers avoid imposing preconceived categories on the data and allows for a
more authentic representation of the participants' realities.
5. Glaserian
Grounded
Theory
Developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss, this approach emphasizes the importance of
open coding and theoretical sensitivity. Glaserian GT is considered to be a more inductive
approach, with less emphasis on the development of formal theories.
Straussian
Grounded
Theory
Developed by Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin, this approach emphasizes the importance of
axial coding and the development of core categories. Straussian GT is considered to be a more
deductive approach, with more emphasis on the development of formal theories.
Constructivist
Grounded
Theory
Developed by Kathy Charmaz, this approach emphasizes the role of the researcher in
constructing meaning from data. Constructivist GT acknowledges that researchers are not
neutral observers, but rather they bring their own biases and perspectives to the research
process.
6. Nature of Grounded theory
Theoretical
Cyclical
Analytical
Grounded theory is a theoretical approach to research that emphasizes the development of new
theories that are grounded in data. This means that the theories are not derived from existing
hypotheses or preconceived notions, but rather from the careful analysis of empirical data.
Grounded theory is a cyclical process that involves the continuous collection, analysis, and
interpretation of data. This iterative process allows researchers to refine their theories as they learn
more about the phenomenon under study.
Grounded theory is an analytical approach to research that emphasizes the identification and
interpretation of patterns and relationships in data. This involves a systematic and rigorous process
of coding, memo writing, and theoretical integration.
7. Steps in constructing the grounded theory
• Data collection
• Data analysis
1. Coding
• Open coding
• Axial coding
• Theoretical coding
2. Memo-writing
• Theoretical sampling, saturation, and scoring
• Writing the draft
10. Data Analysis
• Data analysis in grounded
theory is a complex and
iterative process that involves
multiple stages of coding and
memoing.
• Coding is the pivotal link
between collecting data and
developing an emergent theory
to explain these data
• Coding defines what is
happening in the data and
begins to grapple with what it
means
11. Open Coding
• Open coding involves breaking the data into discrete parts and
generating initial codes to identify concepts, categories, and themes.
• It allows researchers to remain open to the data and facilitates the
creation of a comprehensive initial coding scheme.
• Open coding can be done as
• Word-by-Word coding
• Line-by-Line coding
• Incident to Incident coding
12. Axial Coding
• Axial Coding: The significance of axial coding is in establishing
connections between categories and subcategories identified during
open coding.
• explore the relationships between different concepts and categories,
leading to a more organized and interconnected coding structure.
13. Selective Coding
• final step in the coding process.
• focuses on the core category or central phenomenon that encapsulates
the main theme of the data.
• It helps integrate and refine the categories identified through open and
axial coding to develop a coherent and comprehensive theoretical
framework.
14.
15. • Memo writing is a critical aspect of the Grounded Theory methodology,
facilitating the organization and analysis of data throughout the research
process
• According to Charmaz (2006), memo writing involves the systematic
recording of thoughts, reflections, and analytical insights that arise
during the research process.
• Memos serve as a means to capture the researcher's interpretations,
ideas, and connections between data, concepts, and categories and help
to maintain transparency and traceability in the development of the
grounded theory.
• It’s a way for researchers to engage in a dialogue with their data, enabling
the development and refinement of theoretical concepts and the exploration
of emerging patterns and relationships.
16.
17. • "Theoretical sampling" allows researchers to systematically select data
for analysis based on emerging theoretical insights and concepts.
• theoretical sampling as a method of data collection and analysis that
focuses on selecting data based on theoretical relevance and emerging
conceptual insights.
• The purpose of theoretical sampling is to gather data that can help
researchers refine and develop theoretical categories, allowing for the
exploration of new and emerging concepts within the data.
• Conceptual sensitivity enables researchers to select data that can
further develop or challenge existing theoretical categories, facilitating
a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the research
phenomenon.
18. Cont.
• the iterative nature of theoretical sampling, emphasizes that the
process of data collection and analysis should continuously inform
each other.
• Researchers are encouraged to select new participants or sources of
data that can provide diverse perspectives and experiences,
contributing to the refinement and development of theoretical concepts
and categories.
• Researchers are encouraged to critically reflect on their assumptions
and biases, allowing for the adaptation of the sampling strategy to
account for new theoretical insights and unexpected findings that may
emerge during the research process.
19. • the point in qualitative data analysis where the collection of new data ceases to
provide additional insights or dimensions to the emerging theory.
• Saturation is a critical aspect of grounded theory research, indicating that the data
has been examined, and the identified categories and concepts are comprehensive
and well-developed.
• indicators may include the repetition of themes or concepts across different data
sources, the emergence of redundant information, and the confirmation of
previously identified categories without the introduction of new dimensions.
Types of Saturation
• Data saturation refers to the point at which no new data or information is obtained from the
data sources
• theoretical saturation signifies that the theoretical categories have been fully explored and
developed.
• Category saturation indicates that the identified categories are well-defined and exhaustive,
leaving no room for the addition of new categories.
20. Theoretical sensetivity
• The researcher should be sensitive to the theoretical implications of
their findings, and they should be able to connect their theory to
existing literature.
21. • The draft serves as a
preliminary framework for
presenting the developed
grounded theory, enabling
researchers to structure
their findings and insights
coherently and
comprehensively.
22. • The following key challenge in grounded theory research is the need to
address
1. Bias and subjectivity in data interpretation. Researchers must be aware
of their own biases and preconceptions that could potentially influence
the interpretation and analysis of the data.
2. Balancing theoretical sensitivity and open-mindedness: It involves
maintaining a delicate equilibrium between being receptive to emerging
patterns in the data while also staying open to unexpected or contradictory
information that might challenge existing theoretical assumption
3. Managing complexity and scope in data analysis: it involves dealing
with a large volume of qualitative data and ensuring that the analysis
remains focused and coherent
23. • Reflexivity and Self-Awareness
• Triangulation of Data Sources
• Negative case analysis
• Peer Debriefing and Member Checking
• Maintaining Transparency
24. • Constant Comparison Analysis
• Conceptual Flexibility
• Critical Reflection and Iterative Analysis
• Peer Review and Feedback
25. Managing complexity and scope in data
analysis
• Thematic Organization
• Prioritization of Key Concepts
• Data Reduction Techniques
• Constant Refinement and Iterative Analysis
• Consultation with Peers and Experts
26. Ethical Considerations in Grounded
Theory Research
• Informed Consent and Privacy Agreements
• Respect for Autonomy and Privacy
• Transparency and Honesty.
• Use of Pseudonyms or Coding Systems
• Secure Data Storage and Access Control/Data Protection and Security
• Ethics Committee Approval and Compliance
• Cultural Competence
• Ethical Flexibility
