TWO-DAY experiment about the COVID-19 pandemic and mental health - $10.00 +10.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$22.61 / hour

00:53:04 / completion time

Pros

Interesting and with the chance for bonuses. Even without the bonuses, the pay rating is good and worth the time invested, which worked out to about 53 minutes, which was a bit more than anticipated. I've done work for the institute behind this study before, and I was very comfortable investing any time and effort required due to their reputation and previous positive experiences.

Cons

Actually getting set up to take this was a bit tedious. I tried the first part on Chrome, changed to Firefox as advised in their instructions, and it worked properly. The second part was taken in Firefox as well with the same functionality. But the third part for the survey failed to work in Firefox and I had to switch back to Chrome. And none of the codes allowed copy/paste so I had to make note and manually enter the codes into the HIT, which is always stressful.

WEEK 2 of multi-week study about the COVID-19 pandemic and mental health - $10.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Excellent

Approved

$30.25 / hour

00:25:47 / completion time

Pros

I accidentally didn't let the survey part finish and immediately emailed the requester. Got a response back in a couple of hours and was allowed to take again and submit. Communication was fast and friendly, with the feeling that they were on "my side", if you know what I mean. The task is repetitive and fullscreen, but I'm very happy with the requester.

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$24.36 / hour

00:24:38 / completion time

Pros

-great hourly
-bonus potential although i dont feel you can get much higher than this

Cons

-Pretty repetitive
-cant copy the codes
-Sliders may not work for some. I went from one computer and tried on my Surface Pro and it worked without issues. There should be a red bubble in the middle of the slider. If you dont, try another browser or computer.

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
