Judgment study (5-12 mins, $0.50 + $1 bonus)(~ 7 minutes) - $0.50 +1.00 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$9.78 / hour

00:09:12 / completion time

Pros

Edit/update: requester messaged me this morning that about 20% of participants tripped on the same comprehension question, acknowledged the ambiguous wording, and so they were awarding the bonus after all. This is the second bonus I thought I got ripped off from yesterday that I got so I'm pleased that they are being so reasonable.

Cons

So this requester promised a $1 bonus if all the comprehension check questions were answered correctly and you took your time, but one of the comprehension check questions was kind of unfair (in my opinion) in the way that it was worded in the story and then the way it was worded in the question. I know which one I answered "wrong" and I feel like it was intentionally... not misleading, but like, played on the wrong memory I guess, because of a) the wording used, and b) the fact that the comprehension check questions were asked AFTER several other questions regarding a rather long story I had to read. I'm pretty salty about it.

Judgment study (15 mins, $1.00 + $1.25 bonus opportunity)(~ 15 minutes) - $1.00 +1.25 bonus Confirmed!

Low

Unrated

Approved

$10.40 / hour

00:12:59 / completion time

Pros

Description: Read 5 different scenarios and react to them. All writing. 1 page demographics. There's a feedback form.
$1.25 bonus for passing comprehension check AND if the one random writing question they choose passes muster. They tell you at the end if you pass the comprehension check.
bonus paid 11/20

Cons

- Writing x 5 (3 sentence minimum, essentially creative writing)
- IF you pass the comprehension check and IF you fulfilled the writing prompt correctly, they'll give you $1.25. For me, this works out to raising the pay for $10.40/hr, which is still low considering the multiple writing prompts.

Judgment study (5-10 mins, $0.5 + $0.5 bonus)(~ 10 minutes) - $0.50 +0.50 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$14.46 / hour

00:04:09 / completion time

Pros

Bonus is if you get the comprehension check correct. Very easy.

Cons

The page with all the bubbles on it was not designed well - if your screen is too small there's a horizontal scroll that isn't apparent until you get all the way down at the bottom, so it initially looks like there are only 'Strongly agree' and 'Agree' choices. Had to spend an additional minute going back and fixing all my responses, which was aggravating.

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
