Creative Writing Pilot Study (invite only, $4.00 / 30 minutes) - $0.00 +4.75 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Excellent

Pending

$38.78 / hour

00:07:21 / completion time

Pros

University of Illinois

7 day timer

The creative writing portion of this study was somewhat fun, and you got instant feedback that was useful as well. The entire HIT was different from your typical study, and the writing prompt wasn't a chore to get through.

The requester was very communicative on Reddit and emails, and he added 75 cents to the bonus because of delays getting payments through. He was also open to any and all feedback on this particular HIT, and included questions in the survey that would let workers decide a pay structure for a future study.

Cons

Writing of at least 125 words

Attention checks for the actual survey portion of the study

Advice to Requester

Because of the structure of the HIT it is rather obvious to know the manipulation. I knew this going into the second part.

Compose a Short Story ($5.00 / 30 minutes) - Part 2/2 - $1.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$22.22 / hour

00:10:48 / completion time

Pros

Part 2 of 2. Revise the short story you wrote in Part 1, after having received feedback. Google Forms survey afterward. My time is a guesstimate because I paused and forgot to unpause, but includes the time I had to sit there thinking up new material.
Bonus of $3 if you made a reasonable effort. Paid 10/1

Cons

- Google Forms survey
- To get the code, you have to login with a previously used password, had a moment of panic when I thought I forgot it. Kind of unnecessary IMO, they could have just chucked it in at the end of the survey.

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
