Sažetak	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 qualitative content analysis (LQCA) applies systematic content analysis to text data gathered from the same participants, settings, or documents at two or more points in time. The method preserves the interpretive rigour of qualitative content analysis while adding an explicit temporal dimension, enabling researchers to track how meanings, experiences, categories, or discourse shift, deepen, or stabilise across time rather than producing a single-point-in-time description.
