Teoria ugruntowana jako „rodzina metod”?
Grounded theory methodology as a „family of methods ”?

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the symptoms and conditions of thewidespread use of the grounded theory methodology in sociologicalresearch. The pre-eminence of this methodology among qualitativemethods is accompanied by its internal differentiation and atthe same time efforts to find a set of its key features. In this context,a comparison of the grounded theory and the „typical inductivequalitative method” by Jane C. Hood is presented. Following KathyCharmaz and Antony Bryant the different versions of the groundedtheory methodology are seen as a result of different ways of solvingthe grounded theory dilemmas and perplexities: the problem whatis grounded in the grounded theory methodology, ways in whichthe term of data is understood, the approach to induction, deductionand abduction, the problem of the theoretical sensitivity, theproblems of formalization of data analysis, the problem of verification,use of the literature and the relationship between the groundedtheory methodology and Symbolic Interactionism.
