Pros

274 words x 3 rounds of rating them on a bubble scale, then 1 page of demographics. Breaks between rounds.

EDIT: rejection for not meeting the age criteria, which... why was there not a validation check at the beginning for this either? I'm sure this was stated somewhere so I will mark it as "fair" for rejection, but absolutely there needed to be a screener so I didn't waste almost 40 minutes on this.

Cons

NO data validation - it was entirely possible to not fill in a bubble and have the survey go forward. Especially concerning because there was a visible lag between words/trials, making me hit forward a couple of times because I thought it didn't go through. I contacted the requester right away but I don't know if this will result in an auto-rejection or not.

Advice to Requester

A validation check so the survey doesn't go forward if there is an empty data set is Survey Design 101, yikes.

How Do You Feel About Emotional Words? (WARNING: This HIT may contain adult content. Worker discretion is advised.) - $5.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$6.12 / hour

00:49:00 / completion time

Pros

No writing

Cons

Incredibly repetitious and boring, made me sleepy (at a time when I'm not normally sleepy). Some words were hard to rate because I'd never heard of them, or because they mean different things in different contexts, or because they're British and will have different (or no) meaning to people from different countries. No place for feedback at the end so I messaged the requester about these.

Advice to Requester

Please either increase the pay or shorten the survey. This is a very long hit; those are prone to survey fatigue, which can affect data quality. Higher pay might improve motivation but personally, I'd prefer a shorter survey.

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
