5 Week Self-Help Psychological Intervention - Week 2(~ 15 minutes) - $2.50

Low

Unrated

Approved

$6.27 / hour

00:23:55 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Pay is even worse than last week. A few bubbles, then a 4-min video, a 7-min video, another 4-min video, then a few more questions - and they expect you to practice for an extra 20 minutes unpaid in the middle of the week. It's extra frustrating that they mislead you about the time - there is no way to complete this in 15 minutes as the title estimates. Before each video they tell you how long the next section should take, and it is always less than the actual video time - don't tell me it'll be 5 minutes, and then give me a 7 minute video, there's literally a time stamp right there on the video. It feels intentionally misleading and is kinda insulting. You can find similar guided meditations for free very easily, so that is really not an added value here.

5 Week Self-Help Psychological Intervention - Week 1(~ 15 minutes) - $1.25

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$2.64 / hour

00:28:22 / completion time

Pros

approved instantly

Cons

This took far too long for $1.25 - there were not 1, not 2, but THREE videos, followed by many bubbly questions - this was part one of a multi part series and I will not continue unless the pay is increased dramatically. There was a box at the end to enter what I thought, so I gave my thoughts!

Advice to Requester

The pay needs to be increased to at least $7 - $8!

5 Week Self-Help Psychological Intervention(~ 15 minutes) - $2.50

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$19.35 / hour

00:07:45 / completion time

Pros

Must have shortened this first survey in the series from the past. Pays fairly.
Can probably be done faster.
PAID Screener, which is nice.
No video (that prior versions had I think)

Cons

None really. Pretty straightforward.
Could take a little longer if you work at a pretty slow pace, but my pace was average.

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
