Grounded theory researchers seek to understand the actions by first discovering the main concern or problem, and then the behavior that is designed to resolve it. The manner in which people resolve this main concern is called the core variable. A single entity is the subject of investigation in a case study. Participatory action research (PAR) is based on a recognition that the production of knowledge can be political and used to exert power. Researchers in this approach typically work with groups or communities that are vulnerable to the control or oppression of a dominant group. A procedure called constant comparison is used to develop and refine theoretically relevant concepts and categories. Categories elicited from the data are constantly compared with data obtained earlier so that commonalities and variations can be detected.
