Kopsavilkums	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.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
