  1. Grounded theory research: literature reviewing and reflexivity

    The use of theoretically sampled literature and the necessity for reflexivity are also discussed. Reflexivity is viewed as the explicit quest to limit researcher effects on the data by awareness of self, something seen as integral both to the process of data collection and the constant comparison method essential to grounded theory. Conclusion ...

  3. Grounded theory research: Literature reviewing and reflexivity

    The role of an initial literature review in grounded theory has been widely debated (McGhee et al. 2007; Dunne 2011;Charmaz 2014) and although there are arguments for and against undertaking a ...

  4. Grounded theory research: literature reviewing and reflexivity

    Use of literature or any other preknowledge should not prevent a grounded theory arising from the inductive-deductive interplay which is at the heart of this method. AIM This paper is a report of a discussion of the arguments surrounding the role of the initial literature review in grounded theory. BACKGROUND Researchers new to grounded theory may find themselves confused about the literature ...

  6. PDF Using grounded theory as a method for rigorously reviewing literature

    By using Grounded Theory for the purpose of literature reviewing, this goal is shared: we review in order to advance the depth and breadth of an academic niche. Grounded Theory's hallmark is its inductive nature, that is, it lets the salient concepts arise from the literature. Grounded Theory enables the key concepts to surface, instead of ...

    Reflexivity is a concept of qualitative research rigor, which provides direction for researchers to be aware of bias and control by making an explicit quest to limit the researcher's effects on ...

  10. Grounded theory sampling: The contribution of reflexivity

    Reflexivity is highly relevant for grounded theory research due to its foundations in symbolic interactionism. In this study, reflexivity facilitated the identification of factors influencing sample recruitment at a process and a personal level. It provides a vehicle for the identification of the impact of self on the research relationship.

  11. Being reflexive in qualitative grounded theory: discussion and

    The Alvesson and Skoldberg model is of value in applying reflexivity in qualitative nursing research, particularly in grounded theory research. Conclusion. Being reflexive requires the researcher to be completely open about decisions that are made in the research process. The Alvesson and Skolberg model of reflexivity is a useful model that can ...

  13. Full article: A practical guide to reflexivity in qualitative research

    Qualitative research relies on nuanced judgements that require researcher reflexivity, yet reflexivity is often addressed superficially or overlooked completely during the research process. In this AMEE Guide, we define reflexivity as a set of continuous, collaborative, and multifaceted practices through which researchers self-consciously ...

  15. Critical Approach to Reflexivity in Grounded Theory

    A problem with the popular desire to legitimate one's research through the inclusion of reflexivity is its increasingly uncritical adoption and practice, with most researchers failing to define their understandings, specific positions, and approaches. Considering the relative recentness with which reflexivity has been explicitly described in the context of grounded theory, guidance for ...

  16. Approaches to reviewing the literature in grounded theory: a framework

    Novice researchers must be attuned to the different ways of reviewing the literature when using grounded theory compared with other research methodologies, as this framework acknowledges some of the tensions concerning researchers' objectivity. BACKGROUND There is considerable debate about how to review the literature in grounded theory research. Notably, grounded theory typically discourages ...

    Therefore, it is argued that reflexivity and relationality, which are defined as attending to the effects of researcher-participant interactions on the construction of data and to power and trust relationships between researchers and participants, should be incorporated into grounded theory.

    The methodology for this process is based on the Grounded Theory principles for literature review (Dunne, 2011; Wolfswinkel et al., 2013). Beginning with the analysis stage, in an open coding task ...

  19. Grounded theory literature reviews

    When writing a grounded theory literature review, it's important to take note of how the literature influences your ideas, and to keep track of your original ideas. To maintain your grounded theory perspective, McGhee, Marland and Atkinson (2007, p. 340) argue that "Reflexivity is needed to prevent prior knowledge distorting the researcher's ...

  20. The place of the literature review in grounded theory research

    For those employing grounded theory as a research methodology, the issue of how and when to engage with existing literature is often problematic, especially for PhD students. With this in mind, the current article seeks to offer some clarity on the topic and provide novice grounded theory researchers in particular with advice on how to approach the issue of the literature review in grounded ...
