	Comparative psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds.
		Throughout the long history of comparative psychology, repeated attempts have been made to enforce this more disciplined approach, especially since the rise of ethology in the mid twentieth century, and behavioral ecology in the 1970s gave a more solid base of knowledge against which a true comparative psychology could develop.
		However, the broader use of the term "comparative psychology" is enshrined in the names of learned societies and academic journals, not to mention in the minds of psychologists of other specialisms, so it is never like to disappear completely.

	History Department - Graduate Studies - Comparative History
		The Brandeis history faculty is exceptionally diverse in its interests and offers the student a variety of approaches to the past, such as the study of political structure, social relations and institutions, women and the family, war and diplomacy, psychohistory, culture, or thought.
		The paper may be comparative in research (involving two or more symmetrical case studies), or it may focus upon a single case (with that research informed by a reading of secondary literature on similar cases).
		Students specializing in European history are expected to have a general mastery of a major and a minor field of history, either medieval, early modern (1450-1750), or modern (1750-present).

	GUIDELINES FOR APPROACHING THE
		The comparative approach to history is useful because it provides a new way of looking at known, historical topics and shows students how people have dealt with similar experiences differently.
		The history of the Americas as a classroom experience in colleges and universities in the United States is almost non-existent.
		In the past all of the works on the history of the Americas tended to be chronological narratives taking the story "from Columbus to the present and from pole to pole," to paraphrase Bolton.

		Perhaps this is for the reason that comparative literature, either as the translation of literatures and cultures (as in a conceptual and ideological translation and/or as as actual translation) or as a cross-cultural inclusionary ideology and practice is assumed to be a methodology per se.
		Here, comparative literature is based on the premise of national literatures which then can be and should be compared to each other and that the comparisons rest on the canon of mainstream literatures and cultures as well as on the canon of specific authors writing in the mainstream languages and cultures.
		The said emerging of comparative literature is of some interest from several points of view, such as the sociology of knowledge, the current situation and history of literary studies, and the general status and situation of the humanities, etc., and including for and in the history of the discipline itself.

	Comparative History \| Feudalism
		Separate moments of history have to be independently described before there is any chance of building a theory which is based on, and at some level of abstraction comprehends, all those moments.
		That question, as is recounted in the Foreword to Rushton Coulborn (ed): Feudalism in History, led to the creation of an ACLS Committee on Uniformities in History (excellent name), and to the conference which the Coulborn book reports (not so excellent).
		The superstition that history passes through predetermined stages is common to ancient Greece and ancient China, and it is thus itself attractive material for comparative study.

		Is comparative history on a sticky wicket ?
		My agenda for comparative history supposes that sociologists will get their hands dirty on microfilm and newsprint, and that historians view their small scale comparisons of city and region as contributing to a larger cross-national comparative project.
		I completely agree that comparative history often remains mired in manifesto, and the same is even more true of "transnational history," my chosen preserve, which has to its name little more than manifestos critiquing manifestos for comparative history, usually by suggesting that CH "reifies" the nation-state.

	Comparative labour history: Australia and Canada
		Comparative labour history stimulates hypotheses and also allows us to test ideas developed in the peculiar circumstances of one country.
		Comparative studies of the same industry across several countries are helpful because they allow the researcher to assume that the technical and market factors are relatively constant and focus on broader political and social influences.
		In comparing Australia and Canada one is immediately struck by the fact that the two countries are huge by world standards in area (almost 3 million and 3.8 million square miles respectively) but relatively tiny in terms of population (17.8 [1994] and 28.8 million [1993, est.] respectively).

	Teacher's Corner: A Brief History of the Concept of Comparative Advantage: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The first use of the term "comparative advantage" in the sense in which we use it today is similarly difficult to pin down.
		In both the intellectual origin of comparative advantage and the use of the term, Ricardo must in some measure share the credit with at least two of his countrymen.
		That treatment was even expansive enough (in Chapter 25, paragraph 12) to describe foreign trade and comparative advantage ("comparative difficulty of production," in the passage) in a way that, depending on how read, could please both a WTO delegate concerned with economic efficiency and a distributionist protester from across the barricade.

		The series "Comparative History of Literatures in European Languages" (hereafter "Comparative Literary History") is sponsored by the International Comparative Literature Association.
		In Europe, the sense of collective identity was conceived in the nineteenth century and born largely of the printed word and the literary genre we know as the novel--though others would, no doubt, want to argue for the centrality of drama or even opera.
		This general intertwining of the literary and the national, however, is not one abandoned in a comparative literary history, but to limit oneself to it would be to downplay the power of other imagined communities based on, say, language or geographic region rather than nation.
