Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that aims to build theory from data systematically obtained from social research. Some key contributors include Glaser, Strauss, Charmaz and others.

The main components of grounded theory include concepts, categories and their properties, and generating theory through the constant comparative method.

Some of the key contributors to grounded theory include Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss who first introduced the method in 1967, and Kathy Charmaz who further developed constructivist grounded theory.
