COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

comparative research compares or analyzes two or


more nationalities, social groups, and other social
or demographic subjects in an experimental or
nonexperimental study.
Comparative research is generally used to obtain
the similarities and differences between variables,
meaning it can be a study that inputs a number of
disciplines.

Comparative research refers to the process of


comparing two and other variables while the
results are written in a comparative
research document. 

comparative research has been a casual practice in


human, social, and natural science studies to test
any theory or hypothesis. This type of study got its
roots in the comparative method which was
developed by scholars Rasmus Rask, Karl Verner,
and Jacob Grimm in the 19th century. 

IMPORTANCE
Statistical Contributions
Comparative research has helped statistics for
many years, particularly among social or
demographic studies. A causal-comparative study
would help you understand the underlying factors
causing the similarities or differences.

Awareness of Both Advantages and


Disadvantages
comparative research maintains balance in
learning both the advantages and disadvantages of
each variable to study. Drawing every advantage
or negative aspect of a variable would help you
analyze and reach conclusions to new heights.

Formation of Strategies in Response to


Comparative Results
The special factor of comparative research is how
you can form strategies as a way to respond to the
results of your comparisons. It is through
comparative research analysis that this specific
feature plays out incessantly.

Versatile Type of Research


A comparative research design is so flexible that
you have plenty of approaches as to how you look
at subjects for comparisons.

Makes Research Relevant for Generations


Comparative research is relevant for any time
period because even previous
comparative research will be compared to recent
comparative studies. Any generation can benefit
from the research such as learning the difference
between statistics from a historical timeline to the
present and the future.
