Scope and delimitation
This study had not been undertaken to predispose the Eriksonian
psychosocial development theory. It did not test nor dispute Erikson. It
merely used the theory in looking into the self-concept of the chosen
informants. By doing so, it studied the responses through understanding
and explaining them embarking in the context of the said Eriksonian
psychosocial development theory. Moreover, the study eclectically
collected the positions and concepts of other personality theories and
does not have any intention of siding one over the other, rather its
direction is gearing towards the so-called ‘meta-theorizing’ that is
discovering a theory out of theories.
