خلاصه	Multiple case-based classic grounded theory (CGT) extends Glaser and Strauss's original inductive framework by grounding theory development simultaneously across two or more purposefully selected cases. Rather than studying a single site or participant group, the researcher treats each case as a distinct analytic unit while using the constant comparative method to draw cross-case theoretical insights. The goal is the same as in all classic GT: emergence of a substantive theory that explains the main concern of participants — but the multi-case structure broadens the conceptual base and supports more robust theoretical abstraction.	Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) is a qualitative methodology developed by Kathy Charmaz that systematically builds mid-range theory from empirical data through iterative coding, memo-writing, and theoretical sampling. Unlike the original objectivist version by Glaser and Strauss, CGT treats both data and theory as co-constructed between researcher and participants, acknowledging the researcher's interpretive perspective as an integral part of the analytic process rather than a source of bias to be eliminated.
