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 phenomenology applies phenomenological inquiry to two or more distinct groups, cultures, or contexts, explicitly contrasting how each group lives through and makes meaning of a shared phenomenon. Rather than describing a single unified essence, it reveals both common structures and meaningful differences in lived experience across comparison units. The approach is grounded in Husserlian and hermeneutic phenomenology but extends the standard single-group design into a structured cross-group analysis.
