Resumen	Comparative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Comparative IPA) applies the IPA framework — developed by Jonathan A. Smith — to examine and contrast the lived experiences of two or more distinct groups or individuals. Rather than producing a single composite description, it preserves within-group detail and then performs a principled cross-group comparison, revealing how the same phenomenon is experienced differently depending on context, identity, or circumstance.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
