Welcome to the Glaser Center for Grounded Theory!
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.
Please explore the various information and resources provided to learn more about grounded theory.
Glaser (1978) stated that grounded theory is a research method "based on the systemic generating of theory from data, that itself is systematically obtained from social research" (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 that resolves a primary concern of participants within the area being studied. A grounded theory fits the data making it relevant to and work within the area of study. It is also generalizable to other situations that are theoretically similar.

Are you interested in learning more about grounded theory? Would it be helpful to have each step in the process of conducting a grounded theory clearly explain in a reader friendly way. Then check out Experiencing Grounded Theory. It is a great book to get started with or deepen your understanding of grounded theory. Both novice and experienced researcher will benefit from this book.
Listen to Dr. Barney Glaser explain this important idea in relation to grounded theory.
In this video, Glaser discusses the significance of high impact dependent variables.
Glaser Memorial
Dr. Barney Glaser developed grounded theory with Dr. Anselm Strauss in the 1960s. For over 50 years, Dr. Glaser wrote about and mentored many students and researchers learning grounded theory. He touched the lives of many students and researchers. As we mourn his loss, this is an area for you to share how he has touched your life.
Access the Memorial The Institute for Research and Theory Methodologies has established a Dr. Barney Glaser Memorial Fund. Donations are used to fund grants for classic grounded theory studies. US donations are tax-deductible. Donations through Paypal can be made using the button below, or you can contact us at info@mentoringresearchers.org for other ways of making a donation.
