Feedback:
Constant comparison is a method that involves comparing elements present in one data source (e.g., in one interview) with those in another. The process continues until the content of all sources has been compared so that commonalities are identified. To describe the essential nature of an experience is the goal of phenomenological analysis. To find patterns in the behavior and thoughts of participants is the goal of ethnographers. To fit concepts with the incidents they are representing (fit) is another element in grounded analysis theory.
