Exploring a rationale for choosing to listen to sad music when feeling sad (2013, methodology): “The processes we used were based on grounded theory as formalized by Charmaz (2008) and described by Saarikallio and Erkkilä (2007): Theory development started with line-by-line coding, and evolved to a selective or focussed phase of using the most significant codes to synthesize the data.”
Grounded Theory Methodology (2013, background): “Importantly, Charmaz drew attention to another element: abductive logic, which entails being open to the idea of employing unanticipated theoretical perspectives to make sense of “ surprises, anomalies or puzzles in the collected data” (Charmaz, 2008 , p. 157).”
How do “earworms” start? Classifying the everyday circumstances of Involuntary Musical Imagery (2012, background): “Grounded theory is a logical, linear process that is ideal for examining broad, qualitative research questions (Charmaz, 2008; Glaser & Strauss, 1967).”
