Building a Classic Grounded Theory: Some...

Lee Yarwood-Ross, University of Wolverhampton Kirsten Jack, Manchester Metropolitan University Abstract This article focuses on some of our reflections of using processes inherent within classic grounded theory methodology to build knowledge surrounding military personnel who experienced combat-related limb-loss from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. We conclude that instead of adding to the issue of mixing different grounded theory perspectives, researchers should instead follow guidance from one approach to avoid becoming perplexed as each strand produces a different...

Remote Female Fixation—A Grounded Theory...

Hilde Otteren, PhD Astrid Gynnild, PhD[1] Abstract In this article, we present the classic grounded theory of remote female fixation, which provides new knowledge on the illegal sharing of sexualized images of young girls in networked communities on the internet. This sharing occurs without consent and usually without the girls even knowing about it. In the study, we identified the main concern and action strategies of the anonymous users of a large online forum for the sharing of nude images. The data were gathered from 20 different online comment sections of the...

De-shaming for believability: A Grounded...

Toke S. Barfod, MD PhD [1] Abstract To be “adherent” to a medication means to take the medicine as agreed upon. Poor adherence is the main barrier to the effectiveness of HIV medication. Communication between patient and physicians is a major factor in adherence. We found that this communication is very often awkward and superficial, if not completely lacking. According to the proposed theory, it is a core determinant of adherence communication whether or not physicians use a “de-shaming” communication strategy. When physicians do not, they receive answers with low...

Surviving Situational Suffering: A class...

Barry Chametzky Abstract Administrators at post-secondary institutions in the United States hire contingent faculty members to teach a great many classes.  It is therefore valuable to understand what the issues are for these on-demand, non-tenured faculty members.  The theory of surviving situational suffering explains how part-time adjunct educators in the United States resolve their main concern—maintaining employment—within a context of reduced appreciation, underutilization, and ingratitude.  Just as with various historical events now considered...
