요약	Digital Classic Grounded Theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original (Glaserian) grounded theory methodology to data collected from online and digital environments — including social media, online forums, email threads, and chat logs. It preserves the inductive, emergence-focused logic of classic GT while adapting sampling, data collection, and ethical practices to the digital context, aiming to generate a grounded substantive theory that explains a social or psychological process as it unfolds online.	Digital Constructivist Grounded Theory (Digital CGT) applies Kathy Charmaz's constructivist variant of grounded theory to data generated in digital environments — social media platforms, online communities, forums, digital interviews, and other internet-mediated spaces. It treats meaning as co-constructed between researcher and participant in digitally-mediated contexts, and generates theory grounded in how people make sense of experience through and within digital life.
