Longitudinal Straussian Grounded Theory
Longitudinal Straussian Grounded Theory applies the systematic coding procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory — open, axial, and selective coding — to data gathered across multiple time points. Rather than producing a static snapshot of a social phenomenon, it tracks how processes, identities, or conditions evolve, generating a substantive theory grounded in change over time. It is particularly powerful for studying social processes that unfold across months or years.
