Scope and Delimitation

This section discusses the focus or concern of the study in terms of the specific areas to be
included and to be given emphasis or concentration so that relevant data will be obtained. Moreover,
the scope identifies the possibilities to which the study becomes manageable in terms of issues,
respondents, and time. Moreover, this section distinguishes the constraints of the study by delimiting
the topic in terms of time, measurability, availability of subjects, resources and ethical considerations.
The limitation and delimitation is purposefully identified and anticipated by the researcher. Delimitation
refers to areas which the researcher does not intend to include the study. Whereas, limitation pertains
to restrictions identified by the researcher that may affect the outcome of the study but over which
he/she has little or no control, but are anticipated.
