# Coding in GT
"Grounded theory coding consists of at least two phases: initial and
focused coding." (p.42)
"From time to time, we may adopt our participants' telling
terms as in vivo codes."(p.42)
"During initial coding we study fragments of data-
words, lines, segments, and incidents-closely for their analytic
import."
"While engaging in focused coding, we select
what seem to be the most useful initial codes and test them against
extensive data."(p.42)
"Coding means naming segments of data with a label that simultaneously categorizes, summarizes, and accounts for each piece of data" (p.43)
"first step in moving beyond concrete statements in the data to making analytic interpretations." (p.43)
"codes stick closely to the data, show actions, and indicate how
dilemmas surrounding disclosure arise." (p.45)
"Coding is the pivotal link between collect-
ing data and developing an emergent theory
to explain these data." (p.46)
"The logic of grounded theory coding differs from quantitative logic that
applies preconceived categories or codes to the data."(p.46)
"Language plays a crucial role"(p.46)
"Specific use of language reflects views and values." (p.47)
"Coding impels us to make our participants' language
problematic to render an analysis of it. Coding should inspire us to examine
hidden assumptions in our own use of language as well as that of our participants." (p.47)
"we try to understand participants' views and actions from their perspectives." (p.47)
Initial coding questions:
"• 'What is this data a study of?' (Glaser, 1978: 57; Glaser & Strauss, 1967)
• What does the data suggest? Pronounce?
• From whose point of view?
• What theoretical category does this specific datum indicate? (Glaser, 1978)" (p.47)
"Try to see actions in each segment of data rather than applying preexisting categories to the data." (p.47)
"Attempt to code with words that reflect action." (p.47-48)
"Initial grounded theory coding can prompt you to see areas in which you lack needed data." (p.48)
