Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The Strauss and Corbin grounded theory approach involves three types of coding: open (in which categories are generated), axial coding (where categories are linked with subcategories), and selective (in which the findings are integrated and refined). Substantive coding involves open coding to capture what is going on in the data, and then selective coding, in which only variables relating to a core category are coded. There is no core coding.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
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, not comparing two researchers' interpretation of the data, researchers' interpretation of the data against study participants' interpretation, or data from the study with data and categories from other similar studies.
