Q. In which approach hypothesis or theory not applied? (December 2022, UGC NET)

1. Narrative Analysis

2. Discourse Analysis

3. Ground theory

4. None of these

Correct Ans: (3)

Explanation: Grounded Theory is a research method that does not start with a preconceived hypothesis. Instead, it involves the systematic collection and analysis of data to develop theories grounded in the actual data. This approach allows researchers to uncover patterns, themes, and concepts directly from the data, ensuring that the resulting theory is closely aligned with the observed phenomena.
