Task Interleaving Study - $3.00 +4.25 bonus

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$14.48 / hour

00:30:02 / completion time

Pros

You can earn a bonus up to $5.

Cons

This hit was a lot of work and consists of four different tasks:
-Math problems
-Checking for images in a group of pictures
-Reading and answering questions on the text
-Typing the given sentences.

You will complete at least three rounds with all of the tasks (some tasks you have to do more than once in a round). In the first part, you will complete a full, untimed round with all of the tasks. In the next part, you have to complete at least two rounds (and each round will end abruptly after a certain amount of time), but you can choose whether or not to complete the remaining 3 rounds to increase your bonus.

I think the base pay could have been better for such an involved task.

Study on decision-making - $3.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$16.02 / hour

00:11:14 / completion time

Pros

Assuming the requester actually pays and doesn't reject, then the pay is at least average if you complete the quiz part quickly.

Update: The HIT shows as Approved, so the approvals for this Requester seem to be almost immediately. Given that, I'm going to bump the pay grade up a bit despite the lack of bonus.

Cons

If you are assigned the role of participant B, then participant A can literally take your whole bonus and leave you with nothing other than the base pay for the task. That's what happened to me.

Advice to Requester

You should put a cap on how much of the bonus participant A can grab for themselves.

Decision Making Study (start immediately after accepting to earn more) - $0.50 +2.50 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$45.96 / hour

00:03:55 / completion time

Pros

Guaranteed bonus of $2.50, plus up to $1.60 bonus based on your choices and your partner's choices (could end up with 0). My partner timed out, but I was given 25 cents extra and did not have to wait long at all (90 seconds).

Cons

Update: Base bonus received same day, but it did not include the promised extra 25 cents. Not a big deal, I'm just still jealous of everyone else with their big bonuses

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
