Pros

Cons

Rejected for missing an attention question, which is highly unusual for me because of how slow I typically read. Contacted the requester for further information and I guess I'll update if I get a response?

Update 08/11/2020: Response received from the requester:
"Thank you very much for your inquiry about the attention-check question.



We reviewed your responses and the following is the attention-check question that you failed to answer correctly.



Question: Please check the statement that appeared in the ad.

Sentence: “Take responsibility by taking action now!”

The correct answer: True
Your answer: False



For the record, as long as MTurkers failed attention-check questions, they will be knocked out immediately. As a result, we will no longer collect or use these participants’ data.



Sincerely,

Media Psychology Lab"

It was a memory-based attention check question which, in general, are pretty unfair to reject based on someone's memory. I doubt it's going to get overturned, so I'll go ahead and recommend blocking this requester.

Update 08/24/2020: Requester reversed the rejection after taking my points of contention into consideration. Surprise, surprise - they were reasonable and I retract my recommendation to block.

Rejected with the following explanation: "Thank you for your time and your participation. We are sorry that you didn't pass the attention-detection question."

I don't know. Maybe I missed an AC? I pay attention and try to do my best work. Looks like this requester has a habit of rejecting for this reason, so maybe they're extra sneaky about ACs, or maybe there's an error somewhere. I don't recommend doing any work for them.

Pros

I try my best to always do careful work on every HIT I do. It's possible, but not likely, that I missed an attention-check question. I feel this was an unfair rejection.

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
