Constant Comparative Method

The Constant Comparative Method is a research technique used to analyze qualitative data, such as interviews or texts. It involves systematically comparing new data with existing data to identify similarities and differences. This process helps researchers develop categories and understand patterns or themes within the data. By continually comparing, researchers refine their ideas and ensure their conclusions are well-grounded in the data. It’s a way to build a detailed, accurate understanding of complex information through ongoing, iterative analysis.
