“Grounded Theory Approach” as a Qualitative Research Method for Sociology

Abstract

In this paper, I review B. G. Glazer and A. L. Strauss’ Awareness of Dying which is well–known as a sociological monograph applying the “Grounded Theory Approach,” and examine the process of this approach.

Based on such examination, I insist that the “Grounded Theory Approach” is a useful systematic method for defining generalizations in qualitative research.
