Answer a survey about decision-making and health behaviors - $3.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$5.24 / hour

Pros

Nothing
07.04.2021 - I received an unexpected bonus stating: "Thank you for your thoughtful answers." - that was a nice surprise and does make up a little for the struggle I had completing this hit

Cons

I worked very hard on this and had to finish, I know my time is awful and I am slow but this hit was way too much work. This should pay at least $15!! There is a lot of writing involved - you have to write about 7 events in the last week - these questions come up individually - then after that writing you have to expand on that and write even more - it is then followed by a barrage of amounts of money you have to choose from - whoever set this up has no idea how long this would take - yes I am slow but I bet the average worker would spend at least 40 minutes working on this - a total waste of my time for $3.00

Advice to Requester

You need to time your hits and pay more - there is too much work expected for $3.00

Pros

Hits by this requester have never been bad until this one so I really have no idea what's going on with them. They had great hits that I've done prior without any issues.

Cons

Tons of personal questions and insanely long. Plus a fancy TOS violation thrown in. Rejection. UPDATE: Not only was this a bad survey but I also got a rejection thrown on top of it. Big waste of my time for sure.

Advice to Requester

Use a screener rather than wasting peoples time at the end of a very long survey to make them start yet another survey which you don't mention until several minutes in.

Earn up to $6.00: Valuation and economic decision-making - $3.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Acceptable

Approved

$16.41 / hour

00:21:56 / completion time

Pros

Great pay, fast and easy.

Finally paid the bonus with the following comment: We identified more participants eligible for a bonus--thank you to everyone who contacted us about bonuses to let us know the last bonusing system wasn't working!

Cons

Near the end, I was confronted with a WALL of hard to click bubbles. I could have finished faster, but had to go through the page four times to see which bubbles I had missed.

Edit: Did not receive bonus and they will not answer my queries as to why.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
