Psychology attention and memory during video viewing - B - $3.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Pending

$7.08 / hour

00:25:26 / completion time

Pros

Mostly passive watching/listening videos
Long timer (420 mins, if I recall)

Cons

Four 5 minute blocks where you watch short videos (news, ted talks, etc)
The blocks are timed so, you're locked on this part for 20 minutes which already makes this poorly paid.
After you get through the videos, there is a 24-question true or false quiz about the contents of the videos; followed by a few more questions.
Very underpaid given the time required.

Advice to Requester

Given the time required, you need to increase the pay to a reasonable hourly rate

Psychology attention task including video and self-reports - $3.00

Low

Unrated

$6.52 / hour

00:27:36 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Easily the most boring survey I have ever done
Sent me to an error page instead of giving me a survey code. I'm not even sure that was the end of the hit, but it said it would take 30 minutes and I was at 27.
You cannot go any faster on this, everything is timed
One of the slider bugged out on me and it took me a minute to figure out how to go to the next page of the survey
Don't be fooled by the $3 reward for this, it is absolutely not worth it

$12.39 / hour

Pros

Cons

Not a great HIT overall considering all 3 parts and what is required. Part 1 payment is fine, part 2 payment is awful and part 3 is just okay. The computer task itself requires constant attention.

Considering what you are asked to do outside of the HIT this is not worth it. You are expected to ruin your sleep by sleeping for only 4 hours and also not nap or consume caffeine the next day before this final computer task.
