Non-participant observers do not have any active role in the program interaction but are present to observe and gather qualitative data. Participant observers actively participate in the program while also observing and gathering data. Pseudo-participants are individuals who are playing a role in the interaction but are not actual participants, and pseudo-staff members are individuals who are posing as staff members but are not actually employed by the program.
