Reference Summary

Most writing on sociological method has been concerned with how accurate facts can be obtained and how theory can thereby be more rigorously tested. In this book, Glaser and Strauss address the equally important enterprise of how the discovery of theory from data–systematically obtained and analyzed in social research–can be furthered. The discovery of theory from data–grounded theory–is a major task confronting sociology, for such a theory fits empirical situations, and is understandable to sociologists and laymen alike. Most important, it provides relevant predictions, explanations, interpretations, and applications. –From publisher’s description.
