Rezumat	Visual elicitation classic grounded theory combines Glaser and Strauss's original discovery-oriented grounded theory with visual elicitation interviewing, in which photographs, drawings, or other images serve as prompts that stimulate participant talk. The approach retains classic GT's commitment to emergent, inductive theory building — following the data without imposing a priori conceptual frameworks — while using visual materials to deepen and enrich participants' verbal accounts of their experiences.	Visual Elicitation Grounded Theory (VE-GT) is a qualitative design that augments classical grounded theory with visual elicitation techniques — photographs, drawings, video stills, or participant-produced images — as the primary stimulus for data collection. Instead of relying solely on verbal prompts, the researcher uses images to help participants articulate meanings, memories, and social processes that are difficult to express in words alone. The resulting interview data are then analysed using the full grounded theory analytic cycle of open coding, axial coding, and theoretical sampling to generate a substantive theory.
