Cooperation Task Session_01 (WARNING: This HIT may contain adult content. Worker discretion is advised.) - $3.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$2.50 / hour

01:11:54 / completion time

Pros

ZERO!

Cons

I honestly can't believe I did this. What an INSULTING LOW pay!! Only did it due to a slower day and didn't realize it would be this long of a HIT. There are two potential follow up HITs. Not sure if I want to waste my energy on them. There was so many bubbles before starting, so many steps and waiting for stuff to download, full screen, ACs, very gory/gruesome images. The activity repeated itself just when I thought it was over. This just felt like a COMPLETE waste of time! Even if you achieve the $1 bonus for this HIT and do both of the follow up HITs...you're only maxing out pay at $3-$6ish/hr. I don't know of anyone wanting to work for those wages!!

Advice to Requester

Please pay better, even with the potential bonus of $1 each time and the follow up HITs maxing at $5, that's a max of like $6/hr. I got paid $2.50/hr for this and if I earn the $1 bonus, that only makes it $3.50. C'mon, how is that fair??

Cooperation Task Session_01 - $3.00 +1.00 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$7.33 / hour

00:32:44 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Where do I begin? I knew going into this, from reading the reviews, that this would be seriously awful. It was worse than expected and I've done my fair share of awful surveys/tasks in my ten years of turking. The pay is atrocious and insulting for the content we are exposed to in this.
As it was said earlier, the fact that the instructions are in an audio format is a joke and completely unnecessary. It makes the task take that much longer. A simple block of text to explain this would have been sufficient. Also, you think you are done, and a second block downloads. I nearly screamed.
If this platform was not so dead half the time I would have returned this in a heartbeat. Not worth your time

Advice to Requester

Respect your workers and pay a better wage. You can't show content like this and pay slave wages. Respect the mental health of those that do your studies!

Online Psychological Task (WARNING: This HIT may contain adult content. Worker discretion is advised.) - $1.00 +2.08 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Good

Pending

$4.11 / hour

00:45:00 / completion time

Pros

No graphic images as other reviews suggested.
It's done.

Cons

Not worth the time. Lousy pay even if you do well. Would have passed on this one had I known. Ridiculous really.

Contacted requester because bonus has not shown up over 2 weeks later. He did contact me right away and said "Technically, you were excluded from doing session 2 since you got less than 65% Correct in session 1.
I have given you the bonus regardless."

Glad I was given the bonus anyway. Never did it say I wasn't to do session 2.

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
