תקציר	Longitudinal Classic Grounded Theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original discovery-oriented grounded theory method across two or more data collection waves separated by time. The approach tracks how social processes, behaviors, and conceptual categories evolve, allowing the researcher to build a substantive theory that captures change and continuity rather than a single static snapshot of a phenomenon.	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.
