| Summary: | This is a grounded theory of the basic social process of infiltration. Novice researchers, infants, foreigners and new recruits all face conceptually similar problems of being able to successfully infiltrate into an array of alien situations. The grounded theory emerged from data from the context of a novice researcher gaining and sustaining access for research. Infiltration has three sub-core variables; credentializing, cultivating and experientializing. These sub-core variables are applicable across a wide range status passage situations. The indicators, categories and properties of the emergent variables are explained in detail. The paper follows the orthodox tenets of grounded theory and as such deals with the literature review as a means of comparison subsequent to the emergence of the basic social process of infiltration.
