An Invitation to Grounded Theory
systematic, yet flexible guidelines for collecting and analyzing qualitative data to construct theories from the data themselves.
construct a theory 'grounded' in their data
general principles, guidelines, strategies, and heuristic devices
inductive data, invokes iterative strategies of going back and forth between data and analysis, uses comparative methods, and keeps you interacting and involved with your data and emerging analysis.
early stops to analyze what you find along your path

Theories
Glaser & Strauss 1967
Theory from qualitative data
Not deducted from hypothesis
Discovery of grounded theory (1967) book
Criteria
close fit to the data
usefulness
conceptual density
durability over time
modifiability
explanatory power
Analytical guidelines
Positivist assumptions
Combined 2 traditions
Columbia Uni - positivist
Glaser - codify the qualitative method
Glaser - middle range theories
Theoretical sensitivity - methodologies
Glaser later criticized the deviation of Strauss
Chicago School -Pragmatism & field research
Strauss - humans as active agents
with Corbin 1998 - method of verification
additional technical methods
New book - basics - popular
notions of human agency, emergent processes, social and subjective meanings, problem-solving practices, and the open-ended study of action to grounded theory.
Pragmatism informed symbolic interactionism
Constructivist Grounded Theory
Earlier conventional social constructionism
not included the reflexivity
Include the subjectivity - researchers influence
subjectivity is inseparable from social existence.
