1What is grounded theory?
- Aa method which aims to move beyond description and to generate a theory that is 'grounded' in the behaviour, words and actions of participants.
- Ba method which involves critical re-theorisation of language.
- Ca method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns within the data.
2The goal of grounded theory is to generate a theory rather than test a hypothesis.
- ATrue
- BFalse
3For [blank_start]inductive[blank_end] reasoning we begin with specific observations and measures, begin to detect patterns and regularities, formulate some tentative hypotheses that we can explore and finally end up developing some general conclusions or theories.
- Ainductive
- Bdeductive
4Grounded theory involves simultaneous data collection and analysis.
- ATrue
- BFalse
5[blank_start]Theoretical[blank_end] sampling is where the researcher will refine the sampling depending on what the analysis brings/shows.
- ATheoretical
- BStratification
- CHomogeneous
6Saturation is..
- Awhere you keep going until you feel you can't get any more from the data.
- Bwhere you have asked every participant twice.
- Cwhere you cannot recruit any more participants.
7What is the problem with immersing yourself in literature before analysis?
- Ait becomes deductive and you look for the themes.
- Bit lengthens the analysis process.
- Cit influences how you prompt participants.
8What is the problem with avoiding literature?
- Ayou may do something that has been heavily investigated before.
- Byou do not know what themes to expect.
- Cit makes the analysis process more difficult.
9When conducting interviews in grounded theory, questions will be refined during the process.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10Which of the following are the correct stages of coding in grounded theory?
- A1. open/initial coding
- B2. focused coding
- C3. raising focused codes to conceptual categories
- D1. generating initial codes
- E2. searching for themes
- F3. reviewing potential themes
11Initial coding involves analysing transcribed interviews, line by line to identify key words and phrases.
- ATrue
- BFalse
12In grounded theory, similarities and differences are not compared.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13Focused coding involves synthesis and explains larger segments of data.
- ATrue
- BFalse
14Raising focused codes to conceptual categories is:
- Astarting to put the codes together into larger, more abstract, categories.
- Bputting defined themes into a thematic map.
- Cthe process of breaking data into distinct unit and labeling these.
15The core category: (3)
- Amust be central and account for a large proportion of behaviour.
- Bmust be based on recurring themes drawn from the data.
- Cmust relate meaningfully to other categories.
- Dmust be independent and distinct from other categories.
- Emust be based on previous literature.
16Selective coding is when the researcher limits the coding to only variables that relate to the core category.
- ATrue
- BFalse
17[blank_start]Essentialist[blank_end] grounded theory - looking for underlying essence of underlying truth/fact.
[blank_start]Social constructionist[blank_end] grounded theory - how we construct reality.
[blank_start]Constructionism[blank_end] - focusing on everyone's involvement in the construction of reality.
[blank_start]Constructivist[blank_end] - focusing on the individual's construction of their reality.- AEssentialist
- BSocial constructionist
- CConstructionism
- DConstructivist
- ESocial constructionist
- FEssentialist
- GConstructionism
- HConstructivist
- IConstructionism
- JSocial constructionist
- KConstructivist
- LConstructivist
- MConstructionism
- NSocial constructionist
18Which of the following should be included in the reflexivity? (3)
- Aour personal, social and cultural contexts and how these impact how we interpret the world.
- Bpersonal background and experiences.
- Cethnicity, class, sexuality.
- Dour name.
- Ean argument that the researcher has no bias towards the topic of interest.
19Transparency allows:
- Athe reader to assess how and to what extent your interests, positions and assumptions influenced the research.
- Bthe reader to learn your views on unrelated topics.
- Cthe reader to see how the findings relate to wider literature.
20Fit refers to:
- Ahow closely the concepts fit with the incidents they are representing and this is related to how thoroughly the constant comparison of incidents to concepts was done.
- Bhow a relevant study deals with the real concerns of participants and evokes attention.
- Chow closely the findings fit in the wider literature.
21Relevance refers to:
- Ahow closely the concepts fit with the incidents they are representing and this is related to how thoroughly the constant comparison of incidents to concepts was done.
- Bhow a relevant study deals with the real concerns of participants and evokes attention.
- Chow the theory works when it explains how the problem is being solved.
22Workability refers to:
- Ahow the theory works when it explains how the problem is being solved.
- Bhow hard the researcher worked in the research process.
- Chow the findings relate to wider literature.
