Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grounded theory requires analysts to induce theory from observations, meaning they generate a theory based on the data collected and observed rather than testing a preexisting hypothesis.

Choice D is incorrect because while charting conceptual connections may be a part of the analysis process, it is not the primary method used in grounded theory.
