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 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.
