Rezumat	Multiple case-based life history research is a qualitative design that collects full biographical accounts from several purposively selected individuals and then compares those life histories across cases to identify shared patterns, divergences, and contextual influences. By treating each person's life story as one analytic case, the approach blends the depth of life history methodology with the comparative rigor of multiple case study logic, producing findings that are both individually rich and cross-case meaningful.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
