Abstract

Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) is an effective method for finding out about a phenomenon where little is known. The appeal of CGT is that unlike many other approaches, it embraces the idea of subjective reality. In other words, the notion that a researcher’s own knowledges and worldviews can influence the research process, and potentially the findings, is not a problem. Rather, CGT researchers do not shy away from explaining their subjectivities – their personal perspectives, feelings, beliefs or experiences.
