Muhtasari	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.	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.
