As qualitative methods have become popular and qualitative reports abundant, researchers have begun to discuss techniques for synthesizing findings about related phenomena from diverse samples. Grounded formal theory analysis is one such approach that can yield higher level, broadly applicable theory from analysis of situation-specific substantive theories. Although grounded formal theories may lack the cultural detail and contextual tailoring of smaller, more focused "designer" analyses, they have the potential to serve as "ready-to-wear" models that fit experiences of individuals in a variety of settings.
随着定性方法日益流行，定性研究报告大量涌现，研究人员开始探讨从不同样本中综合有关相关现象的研究结果的技术。扎根形式理论分析就是这样一种方法，它可以通过对特定情境的实质性理论进行分析，得出更高层次、更具广泛适用性的理论。尽管扎根形式理论可能缺乏较小规模、更具针对性的“定制化”分析所具有的文化细节和情境适应性，但它们有潜力成为“现成可用”的模型，适用于各种环境中个体的经历。
