Резюме	Comparative narrative research is a qualitative design that collects personal stories or life accounts from two or more participants, groups, or contexts and systematically compares them to reveal patterns, contrasts, and contextual influences. Drawing on narrative inquiry's attention to experience-as-story, it adds a deliberate comparative logic to identify what is shared, what diverges, and why differences emerge across cases.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
