Questions and Answers

Grounded Theory (GT) is best described as:

  • A quantitative data analysis approach with rigid guidelines
  • A model for qualitative data analysis with fixed focus
  • An orthodox approach to qualitative data analysis (correct)
  • A method for building superficial explanations of a phenomenon
  • What distinguishes between the Generic Inductive Qualitative Model (GIQM) and Grounded Theory (GT) according to the text?

  • GIQM is an outdated model, while GT is a modern approach
  • GT focuses on superficial analysis, while GIQM is more rigorous
  • GT has rigid principles, while GIQM is more flexible
  • GIQM is often seen as characteristic of qualitative data analysis in general, not necessarily corresponding to what GT entails (correct)
  • What is emphasized in the text as an important practice when using Grounded Theory (GT)?

  • Rigidly sticking to the original research focus
  • Applying GT entirely in research, even if it leads to complications
  • Changing research focus frequently during the analysis (correct)
  • Justifying qualitative data analysis using the term 'grounded theory'
  • What should researchers do if they do not apply GT entirely in their research?
