Academic study on decision making - $1.30 +2.80 bonus

Fair

Acceptable

Pending

$11.56 / hour

00:21:17 / completion time

Pros

Kinda Interesting. Have some caffeine before doing it, there's a fair amount to digest. A combination of light economics and policy which certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Update: Approved and bonus paid before I finished this review (though I had to do it twice cause I was logged out of TV the first time :-( )

Cons

Bonus potential needs to come through to make it worthwhile. I rated fair since there's no guarantee of a bonus, even though I got one and the odds are decent you will get something as well. You may face a "moral delima" between your personal values and maximizing your income, and there may also be chance involved beyond what other Turkers you're grouped with. You may be annoyed by waiting if you're a speed reader and "digester" since there's a group involved. If you have stuff queued up needing attention, that annoyance problably rises.

10-minute academic study on decision making - $2.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$23.61 / hour

00:05:05 / completion time

Pros

Took a lot less time to finish than expected, with reading speed only figuring into it to a small degree. I was kind of shocked there were only as many questions as there were. Generous pay rating.

Cons

I've done a HIT for this requester before and according to my records, never received my bonus. The pay rating was so good without it, I guess I never bothered to worry about it.

There was also a tech issue where I got a 500 server error message. I refreshed the page, and it seemed to get back on track. Hopefully, it didn't cause an issue.

10-minute academic study on decision making - $2.00 +1.92 bonus

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$32.82 / hour

00:07:10 / completion time

Pros

Bonus opportunity, well paid.

Cons

Completion code is very easy to miss it's buried in the last sentence of the first paragraph of the debrief page and doesn't stand out. Saw a return review reporting they were given no code, but they probably just missed the code.

Also, maybe I'm remembering my answers incorrectly but I feel like the study misreported my answers in a way that caused me to get a smalelr bonus. Not 100% sure on this though and it could just be me misremembering.

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
