尽管图表可能有助于理解正在开发的概念化，但图表仍然是分析过程中使用率最低的工具之一。例如，在研究过程的不同阶段，它们被解释性研究者用作人工制品，以激发访谈中的讨论，帮助研究人员形成想法，在理论构建的过程中提炼概念化，并与他人交流想法。这篇文章有两个主要目的：第一，开始探索在扎根理论中使用图表的一些复杂性；第二，使用来自两个独立项目的案例研究材料，这两个项目采用单独的扎根理论方法，调查年轻人对体育活动的态度；它概述了研究人员在不同阶段如何以不同的方式使用图表和图画，以支持研究过程和持续的数据分析。
Despite their potential for yielding an understanding of the conceptualisation being developed, diagrams remain one of the least utilised tools in the analytical process. They have been used by interpretive investigators at various stages of the research process, for example, as artefacts to stimulate discussion in interviews, assisting the researcher in formulating ideas, refining conceptualisations in the process of theory building and communicating ideas to others. This article has two main objectives: first, to begin to explore some of the intricacies associated with the use of diagrams in grounded theory, and second, to use case study material from two separate projects, which adopted individual approaches to grounded theory, to investigate young peoples' attitudes towards physical activity; it outlines the ways in which diagrams and drawings were used differently by researchers at various stages to support the research process and ongoing analysis of data.
