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 The Discovery of Grounded Theory, Barney
Glaser and Anselm 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. In Part I of the book, "Generation Theory by
Comparative Analysis," the authors present a strategy whereby
sociologists can facilitate the discovery of grounded theory, both
substantive and formal. This strategy involves the systematic
choice and study of several comparison groups. In Part II, The
Flexible Use of Data," the generation of theory from qualitative,
especially documentary, and quantitative data Is considered. In
Part III, "Implications of Grounded Theory," Glaser and Strauss
examine the credibility of grounded theory. The Discovery of
Grounded Theory is directed toward improving social scientists'
capacity for generating theory that will be relevant to their
research. While aimed primarily at sociologists, it will be useful
to anyone Interested In studying social phenomena-political,
educational, economic, industrial- especially If their studies are
based on qualitative data.
