Delimitations
The delimitations of a study are those characteristics that limit the scope of exploration as determined by the conscious exclusionary and inclusionary decisions that were made throughout the development of the idea. Amidst these are questions of choice, conceptual ideas, objectives that could have been used etc. Originating the limiting step was the choice of the problem itself; similar issues that possibly could have been picked but were removed or screened from observation.
