| Abstract [eng] |
The idea about choosing the particular version of GT for research is becoming more prominent than ever. Article follows recommendations of W. A. Babchuk (2009 a) and M. Weed (2009) for choosing one particular GT version, and criticize vague and eclectic use of GT methods. The aim of GT is to generate the “middle range“ theory, and this theory construction purpose raises many questions about validity and adequacy of such idea which is analyzed in article. Various attitudes about theory for different GT versions emerge. Especially clear classical GT (Glaser) position that only this version of method gives adequate conceptual level to generate independent middle rage theory. Literature analyses, hypothesis testing and use of different kind of data are discussed and clarified different position of GT versions in this article. Glaser is famous for his affirmation that only classical GT is real GT and one that can be called a general research methodology. Other versions of GT are regarded by him only as sharing the same vocabulary but using only qualitative inductive method for research. GT uses special vocabulary for procedures that is difficult to translate into Lithuanian without affecting the meaning and requires deep understanding of every word for grasping the meaning of GT process and operating these concepts while doing research. This article is one of the first attempts to translate and use Lithuanian terms of GT in the field of psychological research. |
