Decision Making Study(~ 50 minutes) - $1.00 +5.20 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$10.20 / hour

00:35:17 / completion time

Pros

Doesn't take nearly as long as anticipated. Pay rating turned out pretty fair with the bonus (just hope they pay out).

Cons

No ratings on this user on TV or TO, so take at your own risk. Super tedious. Comprehension quizzes to proceed throughout the HIT, which always stress me out.

Advice to Requester

It is worth noting that there is no reason at all for mturkers to trust any variant of "3 doors" game (that is, no reason to believe the results aren't predetermined as an experimental manipulation). I am also familiar with the statistical thing about "3 doors/change choice" games, although tbh I don't remember the exact working of it other than that, on a legit version of the game, it is better not to change your choice.

The ONLY reason I trust the "guess a number" game is because it behaved as I would expect for the rules described.

And I'm curious what the point is to 20 rounds of an unwinnable game (the "add 1/add 2" game is not winnable with a computer that always makes the perfect choice). It can't be just to make me mad, because you don't ask any further questions afterward.

Decision Making Experiment(~ 60 minutes) - $1.00 +3.00 bonus

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$15.86 / hour

00:15:08 / completion time

Pros

Bonus just barely makes it worth it

Cons

No concept of what the game points translate to until the very end. I failed game 1 quiz so time might be a little longer. Too many warnings about breaking the game if you dont do exactly the right thing.

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
