Pros

- Potential bonus based on choices

Cons

- REJECTION WITHOUT MESSAGE

Will update if I receive anything from the requester

Update: Requester realized they made a mistake, but told me that they are unable to reverse the rejection due to the third party system that they use. They may a compensation HIT for slightly (60 cents) higher than the value of the HIT as make up... however the rejection will not be reverse which is not worth the 60 cents in my opinion. So beware, if you get rejected, your fault or not, it will not be reversed by this requester.

Study on group decision-making (real-time interaction with other MTurk workers!) - $1.50

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$12.19 / hour

00:07:23 / completion time

Pros

One of the laziest group studies I've ever done. You and 6 other participants try to all pick the same color. The catch: you can't see what all of the other participants have picked, only a few. You have 50 rounds to get it right.

I'm sure this would have been interesting. However, one person went inactive in the very first round, cancelling the whole study. So they paid me $1.50 to wait and then have the thing cancelled. The money was appreciated, but I feel bad for the poor researchers!

Cons

Dependent on other people's attention to complete. As mentioned above, you still get paid even if someone drops out.

Study on group decision-making (real-time interaction with other MTurk workers!) - $1.50 +0.50 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$9.20 / hour

00:13:03 / completion time

Pros

Fast Approval and bonus email a few minutes later!
There's a waiting bonus, .50 cents for 10 minutes, there weren't enough other players so I couldn't make the actual task bonus which could have been a lot better.

Cons

I only got to read the instructions and then I waited in the lobby for 10 minutes waiting for other workers to join (which didn't happen), and playing their included "Snake" game while waiting, if the window loses focus for more than 20 seconds during the 10 minute waiting period you don't get paid.

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
