45 min psychology study - play an economic game(~ 45 minutes) - $4.51

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$6.68 / hour

00:40:31 / completion time

Pros

Supposedly get a bonus for 6 of the rounds chosen at random, though the total amount is not disclosed at the end.

Cons

I'll update this review when (if) I receive my bonus, but I'm guessing the amount still won't make this anywhere close to worthwhile.

Oh, and top all of that off with an error instead of a completion code.

Avoid if you value your sanity.

Needlessly long and convoluted directions (pages and pages) for a task that really isn't that complicated. Also, a comprehension quiz afterward, which like the directions, was also way too long.

Way too many tasks. This literally ended just when I couldn't take it anymore and was about to return it. No progress bar that I could see - not sure what the numbers on the left side meant though. Easy, but monotonous and repetitive with no breaks or sense of progress.

Psychology Study (7 Minutes)(~ 7 minutes) - $0.87 +0.80 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$25.37 / hour

00:03:57 / completion time

Pros

Easy enough.

Bonus opportunity, but this is dependent on your choices and a high degree of randomness. They don't tell you how much you will get at the end, so you need to keep track throughout the rounds, or you will find out when they pay out.

Expecting around $1.60 if I kept track accurately.

Edit: received an 80 cent bonus on 7/19. Wen back to the archived study in HIT Tracker and it appears I did not account for expended point to press the button in this "game." By doing so, I had doubled up a point for all wins. In hindsight, it would have been better to not spend any points. A bummer, but I will take my 80 cents over no cents.

15-17 min psychology study - make decisions(~ 15 minutes) - $1.51

Unrated

Unrated

Pending

$15.06 / hour

00:06:01 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Long paragraphs of text with weird ways to answer (if you were being a complete dick to someone, and they weren't a dick back, would you be likely to help them again? Technically to me the answers for these were ALL "not at all likely" because if I'm being an asshole originally I'm probably going to continue being an asshole, however these behaviors are not consistent with how I would ever interact with another human being so it was awkward for me to answer).

Oh yeah, and their attention question was "what was the last story you read?" Idk, you just made me read like 15 paragraph long stories, two times each. I paid attention but I don't remember.

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
