Longitudinal Constructivist Grounded Theory

Longitudinal Constructivist Grounded Theory combines Kathy Charmaz's constructivist variant of grounded theory — which foregrounds the co-construction of meaning between researcher and participants — with a multi-wave, time-extended data collection design. Rather than capturing a single snapshot, the researcher returns to the same participants across two or more time points, allowing the emergent theory to track how processes, identities, and social meanings develop, shift, or stabilise over time.
