constant comparison  

Definición

  • Constant comparison is the data-analytic process whereby each interpretation and finding is compared with existing findings as it emerges from the data analysis. It is associated with QUALITATIVE RESEARCH more than with QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH. It is normally associated with the grounded theory dataanalytic method, within which Glaser and Strauss (1967) referred to it as the “constant comparative method of qualitative analysis.” Qualitative and quantitative data can be subject to constant comparison, but the analysis of those data is invariably qualitative.
