Lesson Proper
Scope and Delimitation
In doing research study, we make sure that we have certainty and reasons for drawing the
inclusion and exclusion of research variables. We do not write for the sake of writing the parts of
the research paper; such as setting the scope and delimitation of your study. It is important
because it draws the boundary of your study. Without doing so, research procedures and results
will not be coherent to the goal of your study.
The scope specifies the coverage of your study such as variables, population or
participant, and timeline. Delimitation cites factors of your study that are not included or excluded
or those you will not deal in your study.
In this section of your research paper, you may also state the reasons why you did not
include the variables. A clearly written scope and delimitation of the study will make it definitely
easier to answer questions which are related or not related to your study.
In writing the scope and delimitation of your study, you are also asking the basic profile
questions of your research. The following are the components of the scope and delimitation of the
study but not limited to:
Topic of the Study. What are the variables to be included and excluded?
Locale of the Study. Where are you going to gather your data?
Method and Research Instruments. How are going to collect the data?
The delimitation of the study describes the various limitations that arose during the design
and conduct of the study. Along the way of conducting your study, you will encounter limitations
which you have not drawn before you start – these are the delimitations of study. Most of the
delimitations arose from the applicability or usefulness of the findings of the study to the current
problem.
Variables not included in your study are also determined by delimitation of your study.
While on the other hand, limitations of the study are those variables included in your study. Hence,
limitation of the study is actually the identified scope of the study.

Sample 1
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
The study is a correlational research focusing on the association between the use of social
media and the attention span of 50 senior high school students of De La Salle Araneta University
under the Humanities and Social Sciences strand in the first term of the academic year, 2017-
2018.
Furthermore, the study delimits itself to attention span in class and will not attempt to
measure this variable in other environments. Social media use will be limited to the use of social
networking sites and exclude the use of the internet by the respondents for educational purposes.
Sample 2
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
The main purpose of the study is to provide information regarding metrosexuality and how
being a metrosexual affects the lifestyle of the student. The study considers the student’s personal
information such as their name (optional),gender, age, and section.

enrolled in the second semester of school year 2015-2016 of Technological Institute of the
Philippines. Each of the respondents was given a questionnaire to answer. The students selected
came from four different sections to prevent bias and get objective perceptions.
