Explanation

The recognised categories of research participants are the good, the negative, the faithful and the apprehensive.

The good participant tries to confirm the researcher's expected hypothesis.

The negative participant tends to act against the perceived hypothesis.

The faithful participant follows instructions closely regardless of any guess about the study.
