Pros

Cons

Edit: Just wanted to apologize if this seemed over the top and too dramatic. I was just really worked up about this. However, keeping this as is since I already took the time to say how I felt.
I decided to do this one since the reviews for this requester were a bit older and wanted to take one for the team just in case this was bad to warn other turkers. Well, it was bad. Most times I can handle sensitive content and am willing to do them if the pay is fair. There are warnings on the consent form about distressing content but if I recall correctly it was not specific enough.
This is going to be triggering for some. It was for me but I'm unsure if I am more triggered by the content or the audacity of this requester to publish such a personal survey with such sensitive topics for this kind of pay. I basically kept going just to see how bad it was and I should have returned this on principle to avoid getting upset and giving this guy my data.
There are multiple pages of bubbles with very sensitive topics and depending on how you answer there is writing required discussing the sensitive incident.
I meant well by trying this out to see if this was a fair survey to do but honestly I am a bit upset and thanks to this survey I need to take a break from turking for a short while. So thanks dude, not only did you trigger me, annoy me, but you also had the nerve to want sensitive data from workers for a disgusting pay rate.

Pros

Cons

I would avoid this or set it on fire and throw it in the dumpster. Tons of bubbles on this one. What got me agitated was the ACs and it made me feel like this survey was set up to make you screw up. One of the ACs is also somewhat subjective because what it asks of you could be something you actually do. When requesters do crap like this many of us end up focusing more on not screwing up the ACs then actually caring about the data they are gathering. This kinda makes their ACs useless as well as the data.

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
