<p>This unique text shows researchers how to develop theories derived through qualitative inquiry. Johnny Salda¿a illustrates how a theory is a research-based statement with an accompanying explicating narrative that contains six properties: concepts, propositional logic, parameters/variation, explanation/causation, generalizability/transferability, and the improvement of social life. The book features hundreds of examples of theories and metatheories from a wide range of disciplines and includes end-of-chapter activities for exercising the skills necessary to develop original theories. Just as Salda¿a demystifies coding and qualitative data analysis in his bestselling Sage books, <strong>Developing Theory Through Qualitative Inquiry</strong> presents an accessible introduction to the principles and methods of theorizing for social insight.</p>
