Nothing.Cons
Noob requester rejected me claiming I went too fast when his own title says 5-10 minutes. I finished just under 5 minutes. Emailed. Will update if reversed. Avoid this guy for now.Long update a week later:
Emailed this guy's Ethics Office. There's a PhD (Dr. Roy) supervising one of his students running this study. Neither he nor the student ever replied to me during this entire ordeal; only the EO.
What happened is Dr. Roy & his student created a hidden 5 minute benchmark for this study & thought it was acceptable to reject any participant who completed it in under 5 minutes. Nowhere on his consent form nor the instructions does it state every participant must NOT complete this study in under 5 minutes; its simply a completion estimate.
The PhD running the study tried other excuses while replying to his EO saying I was the one & only participant who completed this study in under 5 minutes (which is obviously false seeing the other review posted) & they were paying in a different currency (AUS) so I needed to take this up with mTurk support (???). He also stated they didn't know how to reverse a rejection so I needed to take this up with mTurk support. Yet we can all clearly see another worker had his reject reversed the next day.
Thanks to this TV profile I was able to provide proof that he was being dishonest. IMO, I would avoid this guy in the future as we'll never know what hidden benchmarks he's created & its obvious he will lie to his own Ethics Office to save 40 cents.
Thanks to the EO for getting this rejection reversed.
Advice to Requester
Don't create hidden benchmarks in your studies. State clear instructions on your consent form. If you want participants to stay on a section for a required amount of time then use Qualtrics tools to add time-based pages. Last but not least, be honest.Answered Too Quick
