Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory, coding can be word by word, line by line, or incident by incident. Initial coding leads to focused coding, which is then followed by theoretical coding. One grounded theory approach is the Glaser and Strauss (Glaserian) method, in which there are two broad types of codes: substantive codes (in which the empirical substance of the topic is conceptualized) and theoretical codes (in which the relationships among the substantive codes are conceptualized). The Strauss and Corbin (2008) approach to grounded theory analysis differs from the original Glaser and Strauss method with regard to method, processes, and outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Open coding ends when the core category is discovered, and then selective coding begins, not when data saturation has occurred or when memos have been prepared. Grounded theory uses the constant comparative method of data analysis, a method that involves comparing elements present in one data source (e.g., in one interview) with those in another.
