Grounded theories guide researchers to develop their hypothesis for the studies.

Applicable analytical methods and interview questions on social media that are answered by the studies are equally diverse. Social media is a multi-dimensional phenomena that is reflected in different data dimensions.

5 SUMMARY Use of more data dimensions more reliable results.
