How did the participants identity Ian's belongings in the waiting room?
Social Psychologist
Everyone was told that they'd be working with Ian in the next part of the study. This is from the original research report: " A denim jacket and bag were placed on the first seat and the experimenter explained that these items belonged to the person. She then remarked that he must have popped out of the room for a few minutes, most probably to visit the toilet." So everyone was aware that those belongings were Ian's.
