Observer Participation

Observer participation refers to situations where an observer becomes actively involved in the process they are watching, influencing its outcome. Instead of remaining a detached viewer, they contribute directly—such as providing feedback, making decisions, or taking part in activities. This involvement can shape the process, making it both inspiring and complex, as their presence and actions alter the natural flow. Recognizing observer participation helps in understanding how external influences and engagement affect outcomes in various settings like research, therapy, or organizational change.
