Comment left for requester:

The study invitation stated that the time commitment involved would be up to 15 minutes of waiting and 5 minutes to complete the study for a maximum of 20 minutes. The total actual time for me was 39 minutes which places the pay significantly below the legal minimum wage in the US. Had I known the true time commitment, and pay rate, I would have not participated. Looking at past Turkerview reports on this hit shows that this has been the case going back over a month. Given that the study progresses at its own pace, and the time involved is the same for all participants, I'm not sure why such a wildly inaccurate time estimate continues to be advertised a month later. Please be considerate of your study participants and pay at least the legally required minimum rate for the jurisdiction in which you're recruiting workers and be ethical and honest with time estimates.

Scientific experiment on group decisions(~ 20 minutes) - $5.00 +0.27 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$18.75 / hour

00:16:52 / completion time

Pros

Instructions. Waiting room. Once enough people join, there are several rounds where you pick and chose different shapes to make combinations for points. Exit survey and demographics at the end.

Edit: received a 27 cent bonus on 12/13. I guess there was a bonus for this, but I was not expecting one as I did not think our team did that well.

Cons

Horribly designed. Need to wait for 9 people to join, otherwise it won't start and you're out ~15 minutes. This was my second attempt over the last two days, but luckily enough people joined.

Even with the instructions, can be slightly confusing at first. A practice round would have been helpful.

When you are waiting it is supposed to ding to let you know when enough people have joined. I did not hear a ding and I think I may have missed a round. Hopefully that does not impact payment.

Scientific experiment on group decisions(~ 20 minutes) - $5.00 +0.66 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$20.81 / hour

00:16:19 / completion time

Pros

There are up to 9 other participants - work through several rounds - in each round select the best combination for the highest points as per the instructions - there is a potential to earn up to $4.00 in a bonus - the last screen explains how the bonus is calculated giving you your score but they do not tell you how much as it also depends on the average score of other groups - bonus should be paid in the next week - could be done quicker - same day approval - generous pay.

Cons

There is a warning that you could wait up to 15 minutes and if not enough participants join then you would have to return the hit and not 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

  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions

  • 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
