Grounded Theory Method and the Literature

  • Theoretical ideas have to be set aside until the emergent of the substantive theory
  • Additional literature can be used for the substantive theory, but it has to be used after coding
  • Using literature or preexisting theory before theory development helps prevent forcing theories into data
  • Researchers should analyze data while putting aside their preexisting knowledge to form a new theory. This allows data to speak for themselves
  • Once the theory is being developed, it engages with preexisting theories for theory densification
