Research Paradigm Influence on Grounded Theory Method

 Unlike quantitative research, theory does not have a distinct role  across the various qualitative methods. Hall, Griffiths, & McKenna  address the role of how different paradigms can influence the  application of a grounded theory method. While more frequently  associated with a grounded theory method, different paradigms can  influence the application of other qualitative methods. Yet in other  qualitative methods, a paradigm or preconception is avoided. In your  words, summarize how a researcher's paradigm can influence the use of a  grounded theory method.
