Tóm tắt	Comparative life history research is a qualitative approach that collects extended first-person accounts of individuals' lives across two or more cases, groups, or social contexts, then systematically compares these accounts to identify shared patterns, divergences, and the social forces that shape biographical trajectories. It bridges the depth of life history with the analytical leverage of cross-case comparison, making it especially powerful for understanding how social structure, culture, or institutional context shapes individual experience over time.	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.
