Grounded Theory Analysis was created (or at least first described) by Anselm Strauss and Barney Glaser in 1967 as a research methodology. It has the following characteristics: 1. It is qualitative rather than quantitative. In other words, it focuses on statements rather than numbers. 2. It is inductive, rather than deductive. In other words it takes data and develops a model. It does not test a model. 3. It is anti-hypothetical. Grounded Theory is called what it is, because it is described as being "grounded" on the data. The fear is that a hypotheses biases the findings. 4. It focuses on describing a phenomena to create a "model". This is different from some other types of qualitative analysis such as: Ethnography: Used to describe an ethnic or cultural group. Biography: Used to describe a person. Phenomenology: Although also used for a phenomena... phenomenology seeks to find the essence of the phenomena, rather than seek a model. Case study: Used to study an event. Grounded Theory analysis focuses on interviews... especially live interviews. The goal is to interview people with diverse perspectives in a particular area. The aim is to reach data saturation (where additional interviews do not result in new useful data). When data saturation occurs... the data goes through three processes: A. Open coding. The data is broken up into individual statements and categorized. B. Axial Coding. The coded statements are compared to find common themes and relationships. C. Selective Coding. The axially coded data is filtered to find key relationships and classifications. This process can be iterative. The result should be a substantive theory or model. It may be in narrative form, diagram, table, or otherwise. Grounded Theory Analysis can be a very powerful tool especially in the social sciences. But the researcher must be of care not to inject bias into the process.
