Összefoglaló	Selective coding is the third and final analytic phase of grounded theory, in which the researcher systematically identifies one central or core category that integrates all other major categories developed during open and axial coding. The outcome is a coherent, data-grounded substantive theory that explains the main social process or phenomenon under study. First formalized by Glaser and Strauss (1967) and later elaborated by Strauss and Corbin (1990) and Kathy Charmaz (2006), selective coding transforms fragmented mid-level categories into a unified theoretical account.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
