Grounded theory, an inductive research method, builds bridges between real-life situations and formal theory. Case studies demonstrate its application in understanding patient recovery and managing psychiatric facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Grounded theory is an inductive research methodology for developing formal theories from empirical data.
  • This method facilitates the integration of real-world observations with theoretical frameworks.
  • The study outlines procedures for applying grounded theory in diverse research contexts.

Discussion:

  • The first case study explores the social-psychological aspects of "cutting losses" in heart patients during recovery.
  • It details extending the generated theory to various chronic conditions, both visible and invisible.
  • The second case study exemplifies developing a structurally-oriented theory from participant observations in a juvenile schizophrenic treatment facility.

Key Insights:

  • Grounded theory provides a systematic approach to theory generation from qualitative data.
