“…Such methods pursue important insights into social issues through within-case and cross-case analytic techniques and offer a template for combining multiple methods (Lange, 2013). These analytic moves generate idiographic, case-specific particulars (Sandelowski, 1996) and more nomothetic, law-like generalizations (Lange, 2013). It allows a search for themes or recurring ideas in each case (Miles, Huberman, & Saldana, 2014), while cross-case analysis constitutes the "comparative," allowing comparison of such themes from one case with another.…”

“…Within-case analysis constitutes the "historical," analyzing processes over time. Pattern matching is a technique that explores data which offers insight into a particular phenomenon to see whether the data conform to predictions of an underlying theory, thereby privileging nomothetic insights (Lange, 2013). These analytic moves generate idiographic, case-specific particulars (Sandelowski, 1996) and more nomothetic, law-like generalizations (Lange, 2013).…”

This report extends knowledge about the informal caregiving trajectory in Mexican American (MA) families, constituting the second known empirical study of the emerging phenomenon of personal care by (MA) sons for their aging mothers, previously reported by our research team. It uses life course perspective (LCP) to compare caregiving patterns over time through case-based comparative-historical methods. "Historical" withincase analysis searches for themes, while "comparative" cross-case analysis allows exploration of themes across multiple cases, enabling examination of eight cases of caregiving MA sons who were currently providing personal care or confronting the imminent need to do so. We used the comparativehistorical technique of pattern matching to determine the worth of LCP for exploration of MA family caregiving, test data-derived theoretical propositions, and function as a template for combining multiple methods. Qualitative findings were buttressed in this sub-analysis of a parent study by results from a battery of variable-oriented scales.
