Σύνοψη	Comparative Constructivist Grounded Theory combines Kathy Charmaz's constructivist strand of grounded theory with an explicit comparative design, deliberately collecting and analyzing data from two or more groups, settings, or time points to build a theory that accounts for variation and similarity across contexts. The constructivist perspective treats categories and theory as co-constructed between researcher and participants rather than discovered objectively from data.	Interpretive constructivist grounded theory is a qualitative research design in which the researcher and participants are understood as jointly constructing meaning, and theory is built inductively from data through systematic comparative analysis. Developed by Kathy Charmaz as a departure from the positivist assumptions of classic grounded theory, this approach situates both the researcher and participants as active interpreters whose social positions, values, and interactions shape the categories and theory that emerge from the study.
