Employing a qualitative approach, within the context of Generation Y consumers, this research investigates the internal justification processes used by consumers contemplating to forgive a celebrity who has transgressed society's norms of acceptable behaviour. A thematic analysis of data from in-depth interviews identified nine emergent categories, grouped into four themes or core drivers: celebrityrelated drivers, consumer-related drivers, context-related drivers and time-related drivers. The findings show that although there is generally no personal relationship between consumers and celebrities, consumers tend to bond with celebrities in para-social relationships. Many consumers see these relationships as similar to how they connect with friends thus leading them to show forgiveness tendencies towards a celebrity comparable to forgiving friends. The paper presents a conceptual framework highlighting the consumer's forgiveness justification process. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The approach captures the words and actions of those individuals under study (Goulding, 2005) and allows for theory development during the collection and analysis of data (Douglas, 2003;Locke, 1996). The sampling looked for emerging themes and patterns until thematic saturation was reached.…”

“…Grounded Theory "emphasises the systematic approach to data collection, handling and analysis" [75]. This research seeks to adopt a similarly systematic approach to data handling and analysis and therefore borrows three key data management and analysis techniques from Grounded Theory; (1) coding, (2) constant comparison, and (3) memoing.…”

ContextAn optimal software development process is regarded as being dependent on the situational characteristics of individual software development settings. Such characteristics include the nature of the application(s) under development, team size, requirements volatility and personnel experience. However, no comprehensive reference framework of the situational factors affecting the software development process is presently available. ObjectiveThe absence of such a comprehensive reference framework of the situational factors affecting the software development process is problematic not just because it inhibits our ability to optimise the software development process, but perhaps more importantly, because it potentially undermines our capacity to ascertain the key constraints and characteristics of a software development setting. MethodTo address this deficiency, we have consolidated a substantial body of related research into an initial reference framework of the situational factors affecting the software development process. To support the data consolidation, we have applied rigorous data coding techniques from Grounded Theory and we believe that the resulting framework represents an important contribution to the software engineering field of knowledge. ResultsThe resulting reference framework of situational factors consists of 8 classifications and 44 factors that inform the software process. We believe that the situational factor reference framework presented herein represents a sound initial reference framework for the key situational elements affecting the software process definition. ConclusionIn addition to providing a useful reference listing for the research community and for committees engaged in the development of standards, the reference framework also provides support for practitioners who are challenged with defining and maintaining software development processes. Furthermore, this framework can be used to develop a profile of the situational characteristics of a software development setting, which in turn provides a sound foundation for software development process definition and optimisation.

“…The data were coded, conceptualised, and then organised in the form of issues to report (Douglas, 2003). I used a constant comparison method (Bowen, 2008;Lindlof, 1995) with the aim to look for commonalities and differences on the central issue to report as findings (Dye et al, 2000).…”
