One can distinguish between the sociological comparative research depending on whether they aim to explain international (macro-macro relationships) or intra-national differentation (macro - micro). Based on this distinction, the typology has been made which takes into account various kind of characterictics of the countries as well as number of countries. The typology allows to fi gure out many problems related to functional equivalence in the comparative research. In particular, the analysis of the three kinds of the functional equivalence was made - namely that of: the units of observation (subject equivalence), indicators and constructs (measurement equivalence), as well as the stage of observed facts (processual - temporal equivalence). Key words: types of cross-national studies; equivalency of observation units; functional equivalency of variables.
