Sammanfattning	Field-based classic grounded theory applies Barney Glaser's original (Glaserian) grounded theory method within naturalistic, in-situ settings — combining sustained field immersion with the classic GT emphasis on emergence, theoretical sensitivity, and the constant comparative method. The researcher enters the social scene without a predetermined framework, collects data through observation and naturalistic interviews, and allows a substantive theory to surface inductively from the field rather than imposing conceptual structure in advance.	Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) is a qualitative methodology developed by Kathy Charmaz that systematically builds mid-range theory from empirical data through iterative coding, memo-writing, and theoretical sampling. Unlike the original objectivist version by Glaser and Strauss, CGT treats both data and theory as co-constructed between researcher and participants, acknowledging the researcher's interpretive perspective as an integral part of the analytic process rather than a source of bias to be eliminated.
