Health and Interpersonal Wellbeing: 2 HITs Study, $30 or $45 Total (Set #1)(~ 60 minutes) - $10.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$19.31 / hour

00:31:04 / completion time

Pros

Long timer and I suggest taking breaks to ease frustration. I also suggest grabbing a coffee and picking out something to do afterwards to clear your mind if you decide to partake in this rather extensive survey.

Cons

Another survey where the ten bucks just does not feel worth it. Hoping the second survey makes up for the frustration. First of all, it's RedCap and I hate that platform because it's awkward and slow. I mean tiny tiny tiny radio buttons!
This survey may have had more questions than I have ever done in my whole time turking especially with certain sections. Timing will vary depending on how you answer. Questions can get extremely personal and may be triggering for some because they do ask very sensitive questions. I'm used to that, as many turkers are, but does not put you in a good state of mind.
Overall, for ten bucks it could be worse but yeah, this kinda sucked.

Health and Interpersonal Wellbeing: 2 HITs Study, Set #2(~ 60 minutes) - $20.00

Unrated

Approved

$23.34 / hour

00:51:25 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Almost completely made up of bubble questions that are easy to miss when clicking. Doesn't give a worker the ability to opt out of relationship and intimacy questions if they weren't in a relationship prior and during the pandemic. This is the sort of study in which answering "yes" to a question will add more questions to answer. It makes a worker or participant want to answer "no" to every question.
**EDIT: This FINALLY paid out nearly 4 weeks later.

Approved

$25.71 / hour

Pros

- Depending on the answers given you may qualify for 2 additional studies. Part one is 90-110 minutes and pays $22.50. There is an optional part of this study where the University will send a saliva collection kit with a pre-paid UPS/Fed-Ex envelope to test for COVID-19 antibodies and immune stress biomarkers for an additional payment of $15 ($37.50) total which is pretty cool if you've been wanting to get involved with research studies/get tested anyway (without paying and actually getting paid for it).

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
