A study of workplace conversations(~ 10 minutes) - $2.15

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$22.37 / hour

00:05:46 / completion time

Pros

Cons

1-2 sentence writing task (comprehension check).

A lot of researcher commentary: reassurances about the pay rate, looooongwinded debriefing, apologies for the written task, explanations that the MC questions were bring broken up onto multiple pages so as not to be an overwhelming wall of text, etc.

Advice to Requester

What I listed in the cons section actually makes the HIT go by slower because it's extra fluff text that needs to be skimmed in case it contains an attention check. Furthermore, it's fine to put the MC questions on the same page, especially since each section was only 10 or so. By splitting up the questions into chunks of two or three per page, you actually created more work for turkers because now we have to load multiple pages, scroll more, read more, etc.

Turkers are well-versed in these kinds of scenario assessment studies, in likert scales, etc. Although it's kind of you to provide so many reassurances, it's really not necessary and we don't need out hands held in order to provide you with quality data. "Pilot tests" also tend not to be an accurate measure of how long it takes seasoned turkers to complete HITs, since average survey takers don't tend to do hundreds of these a week like we do--the resulting extra pay is much appreciated, though.

Perspectives on cross-generational links in society(~ 12 minutes) - $2.40

Good

Good

Approved

$11.69 / hour

00:12:19 / completion time

Pros

- Debriefing page is not the usual sterile wall of text
- instructions seem like they were written by a human for another human
- makes you aware upfront that the task will involve writing
- last page of the survey has a message regarding the difficulty of covid that seems heartfelt rather than the "here's a crisis help line phone number" bs

Cons

Study about imagination, communication, and perception(~ 12 minutes) - $2.50

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$16.51 / hour

00:09:05 / completion time

Pros

- Requester seems to actually care about a decent hourly wage and makes a note at the end about how they calculated the wage based on the average completed time & gives a contact email if you feel like the rate should/needs to be adjusted in the future.

Cons

- Minor imagination/writing task.

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
