Sintesi	Interpretive classic grounded theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original discovery-oriented grounded theory procedures under an explicitly interpretivist epistemology. It retains classic GT's commitment to theory emergence — avoiding forced conceptual frameworks — while acknowledging that the researcher's interpretive lens shapes what is noticed and how meaning is constructed from data. This stance distinguishes it from purely objectivist readings of Glaser's later solo work and from constructivist grounded theory in its degree of inductive openness.	Interpretive grounded theory is a qualitative methodology that builds substantive theory inductively from data while working from an interpretivist epistemological stance. Developed most fully by Kathy Charmaz, it holds that researcher and participant co-construct meaning, that categories are created rather than discovered, and that the resulting theory is one plausible account among others rather than an objective rendering of social reality.
