Barney G. Glaser’s scientific contributions

... Data saturation is a cornerstone of qualitative research, representing the point at which further data collection no longer yields new insights, themes, or categories relevant to the research question. Originating from grounded theory, Glaser and Strauss [21] introduced saturation as a key step in theory generation, ensuring that theoretical constructs are sufficiently developed and exhaustive [21]. Over time, the concept has evolved and found application across various qualitative methodologies, though its definition varies. ...

... The methodology adopted is qualitative, of sociological inspiration in accordance with the Chicago School model (Hughes, 1996;Becker, 2009). We subscribe to this tradition of in situ observation within hospital settings, as developed by Strauss and Glaser (1970), Glaser and Strauss (1965), Hughes (1996), Becker (2002) and Peneff (1992), among others. This method is driven by asking "why is it that?", ...

... However, given the particularity of the context of this study area and the complexity of the concept of provider bias, one could argue that wanting to replicate the data would be naYve and unfeasible (Lincoln and Guba, 1985). Rather, a sense of 'trustworthiness' (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) is a key to appraise the 'soundness' of this study (Ritchie and Lewis, 2003). In order to increase the trustworthiness, the detailed procedures that have led to the results and conclusions of this study are exposed (Seale, 1999). ...

... For the latter, we specifically asked if they i) associated colours with emotions, ii) thought that colour had an impact on their or others' mood, and iii) had any preferences for colours. We organised their answers using the thematic analysis (Glaser & Strauss, 1967;Miles & Huberman, 1994) and extracted key themes mentioned by our participants. Furthermore, to understand which aspects of colour cognition necessitated past colour experience, we contrasted responses given by participants with (i.e., congenitally blind, achromatope) and without (i.e., non-congenitally blind) congenital absence of colour vision. ...

... My goal for this project was to determine whether or not this class reduces racial prejudice and promotes racial sensitivity and awareness among undergraduate students. I anticipated that analysis of the narratives and focus group audiotapes would lead to the discovery of relevant categories (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) or emergent theory (McAllister, 2001) about pedagogical outcomes. Student narratives and discussion were most readily divided into changes experienced in the cognitive and affective domains. ...

... In qualitative research, sample size is typically determined based on the goal to achieve 'concept saturation' (the point at which no new concepts are likely to emerge with further interviews). Research suggests, in a relatively homogeneous population, approximately 85% of all concepts will be elicited after ten interviews [17][18][19]. As such, a minimum sample size of ten participants for each subgroup was planned. ...

... Instead, quality assurance of coding, theme development and the final write-up were guided by a tool for evaluating research quality [29]. Data collection was stopped when data saturation was reached [33]. NVivo qualitative data analysis software (NVivo version 12, 2018) was used to facilitate data management and analysis. ...
