Резюме	Digital Straussian grounded theory applies the systematic, coding-driven approach of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory to digital data sources such as online forums, social media, chat logs, and digital documents. It retains the Straussian paradigm model and three-stage coding structure — open, axial, and selective — while adapting sampling strategies, theoretical saturation criteria, and ethical protocols to the unique features of online and digital research environments.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
