Muhtasari	Longitudinal Classic Grounded Theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original discovery-oriented grounded theory method across two or more data collection waves separated by time. The approach tracks how social processes, behaviors, and conceptual categories evolve, allowing the researcher to build a substantive theory that captures change and continuity rather than a single static snapshot of a phenomenon.	Classic Grounded Theory (CGT) is a systematic qualitative methodology for generating substantive theory from empirical data. Developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in 1967, it uses iterative cycles of data collection, constant comparison, and memo writing to produce a core category and surrounding conceptual framework that explains a social or psychological process. Unlike its later variants, Glaserian CGT insists on emergence — theory must arise from data without forcing preconceived frameworks.
