Decision-making and Personality Survey - $1.00 +4.00 bonus Confirmed!

Low

Unrated

Approved

$41.00 / hour

00:07:19 / completion time

Pros

University of Miami

Some IRB info provided

Answer a lot of generic psych questions, then questions digging into your personal life

Bonus depending on how you answer in the study

The 40 minute estimate is thankfully inaccurate here

Cons

Pretty disgusting survey, as it wants to guilt trip you out of the $4 bonus, then gets into a set of questions that digs heavily into your childhood and your parents' lives. It feels like you're trying to fill out a form for your therapist on why you're depressed with how personal the questions are.

The requester threatens to reject you several times in the frame and in the survey itself, as he wants one response per worker ID or IP address or whatever. They also only provide some IRB info at the end of the survey, so if you want to contact him you'll have to complete the survey again just for his info.

Some of the pages are VERY bubbly, and the survey uses an old Qualtrics format, so it's a lot of clicking on small radio buttons

Awful survey tbh

Decision-making and Personality Survey - $1.00 +4.00 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Approved

$18.40 / hour

00:16:18 / completion time

Pros

There's a bonus yippee.

Cons

I'm used to these kinds of survey questions but it was still an unpleasant experience. One of the pages was like an ocean of bubbles just scrolling on and on. There were also sliders and some writing. Demographics were very extensive and very personal but some did have an option to not answer if you did not want to. This survey basically sucked in a nutshell.

Pros

Cons

One of those surveys where you answers open up new sections so some people have to answer more questions. It's all bubble and slider hell too. I hate being in a demo that researchers want to study. Why do I have to be so broken inside? Kill me now. :P

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
