תקציר	Longitudinal grounded theory is a qualitative research design that applies grounded theory's inductive, iterative logic to data collected from the same participants or settings across multiple time points. It is used to build substantive theory that accounts not only for social processes but also for how those processes unfold, shift, and are renegotiated over time. The approach is particularly suited to studying change, trajectory, and temporal experience in social and health research.	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.
