Topic: Grounded Theory
Grounded theory permits researchers to develop a method that
describes and/or explain situations that can “accurately perceive
and present another’s world” (Jacelon & O’Dell, 2005). The
grounded theory focuses on an informative natural method in
conjunction with strategies. Examples of these strategies are
observations, interviews, and documentation. Becoming one of
the most frequently adopted qualitative research methods, it
discloses the behavior and social relationships of groups.
This type of research methodology utilizes inductive reasoning
as well as the hypothetic-deductive model of the scientific
method. Grounded theory constructs data systematically and
analyzes by using comparative analysis.
In my chosen journal, two out of three schools that were invited
to take part participated. Each participant completed an
individual interview, as well as the parents of the participants,
completed an informed consent document. All possessed
documents for the analysis were securely stored within a filing
cabinet. During this study, the individual interviews were
audio-recorded, analyzed and transcribed verbatim before
conducting the next interview. The researchers used the
constructivist grounded theory approach to conduct the
individual teen girl’s interview to identify the insight of how
they are influenced by their significant other
