The Glaser Center for Grounded Theory trains, mentors, supports, and connects students, faculty, and researchers worldwide who are learning and using grounded theory. We are building and supporting a community of students, faculty, and researchers across academic disciplines who are interested in grounded theory.
Grounded theory is a research method "based on the systemic generating of theory from data, that itself is systematically obtained from social research" (Glaser, 1978, p. 2). Thus, grounded theory is a research method used to generate an inductive theory from the analysis of data that has been systematically collected from the area of study. The resulting theory explains a pattern of behavior used by people within the area being studied to address their main concern.
