A researcher observed social loafing during a group task where individual effort could be measured. Students were asked to generate as many unique uses for a common object as possible in 10 minutes. In the "identifiable" condition, each student typed ideas into their own labeled document. In the "non-identifiable" condition, students sat together and spoke ideas that a recorder typed into a single unlabeled list; the researcher stated that only the group's total number of unique ideas would be counted. Which pattern is most consistent with social loafing?
