Sammanfattning	Interpretive constructivist grounded theory is a qualitative research design in which the researcher and participants are understood as jointly constructing meaning, and theory is built inductively from data through systematic comparative analysis. Developed by Kathy Charmaz as a departure from the positivist assumptions of classic grounded theory, this approach situates both the researcher and participants as active interpreters whose social positions, values, and interactions shape the categories and theory that emerge from the study.	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.
