LIMITATIONS AND DELIMITATIONS
LIMITATIONS
Limitations, also known as the bounds, are influences that
the researcher cannot control. They are the shortcomings ,
conditions or influences that cannot be controlled by the
researcher that place restrictions on your methodology
and conclusions. Any limitations that might influence the
results should be mentioned
DELIMITATIONS
Delimitations are choices made by the researcher which
should be mentioned. They describe the boundaries that
you have set for the study. This is the place to explain:
 the things that you are not doing (and why you have
chosen not to do them).
 the literature you will not review (and why not).
 the population you are not studying (and why not).
 the methodological procedures you will not use (and
why you will not use them).

IMPORTANCE OF LIMITATIONS
7
 Always acknowledge a study's limitations. It is far better for you to identify and acknowledge your
study's limitations than to have them pointed out by your professor and be graded down because you
appear to have ignored them.
 Keep in mind that acknowledgement of a study's limitations is an opportunity to make suggestions for
further research.
 Claiming the limitations is a subjective process because you must evaluate the impact of those
limitations.
 Don't just list key weaknesses and the magnitude of a study's limitations. Limitations require a critical,
overall appraisal and interpretation of their impact.
 You should answer the question: do these problem with errors, methods, validity, etc. eventually matter
and, if so, to what extent?
