The core of the study is looking into the self-concept of the selected informed informants and interpreted it through Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory on mistrust. The prime and intense assumption that the results magnified is that, "direct consciously observed self-concept of mistrust is the product of unconscious feeling of frustration activated right at the onset of the child's early years which could be naturally repressed but never fades as it can always be projected once ignited."
