Compensation HIT for A Study About Gambling and Online Social Gaming(~ 1 minutes) - $20.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$20.00 / hour

01:00:00 / completion time

Pros

1 week study. $1/day for playing a game; only 5 mins minimum (could play longer if you wanted). $3 bonus if you participated in all 7 days, so $10 total. $5 follow-up survey ~5-10 minutes long. Total compensation was $24 for about an hour of work (first survey/qual was $4).

Daily emails were sent out at 3 am EST, giving you all day to participate. Excellent requester who clearly values and respects workers.

A Study About Gambling Experiences (Earn $0.10 to $2.50)(~ 25 minutes) - $0.10 +2.40 bonus Confirmed!

Low

Unrated

Approved

$6.53 / hour

00:22:58 / completion time

Pros

- $2.50 for the whole survey
- bonus based on performance (should be $2.48 in my case)
- completion time can be way less but I got distracted playing the game ha

Cons

[edit to add: my bonus was only $2.40 instead of $4.98 with the reasoning of "An attempt to play roulette as instructed was not detected." but I definitely played.

A Study on Impulsivity, Cognition and Gambling(~ 1 minutes) - $0.10 +1.90 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$11.16 / hour

00:10:45 / completion time

Pros

Bonus potential (says $1.90 for doing the survey, and up to $2.60 based on how you did on performance, but I did a survey, so idk what kind of performance they could judge)

Cons

Long survey.
Inquisit (although clicking start for me only opened a survey page, so idk why it needed inquisit).

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

  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions

  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay

  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5

  • 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
