English term or phrase: appreciate (here)
We greatly appreciate your participation in this study.

There is some confusion.

Could you please explain what exactly is meant by "appreciate?"

Does it mean, we are "thankful or obliged or grateful to you"

or

We "commend, praise or applaud" your participation.

Thanks
