A short study about online product search(~ 3 minutes) - $0.35

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$8.34 / hour

Pros

Cons

I believe it is normally considered polite on mturk to warn people when you are going to intentionally show them images intended to be upsetting or unpleasant. Even more so when there is apparently NO connection between that obvious manipulation and the actual experimental question(s).

Advice to Requester

I believe it is normally considered polite on mturk to warn people when you are going to intentionally show them images intended to be upsetting or unpleasant. Who tf goes to google or bing to search for a poster? And I wouldn't use ANY of those search terms - I would search for an image based on some sort of description of what I wanted an image of.

3-minute study on images and descriptions(~ 3 minutes) - $0.30

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$7.66 / hour

00:02:21 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Watch an unskippable series of extremely depressing images as an intentional and obvious manipulation that has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING THAT MAKES SENSE, and that makes the study underpaid no matter how quickly you complete the rest.

Advice to Requester

What the heck is this?
A) There is LITERALLY NO CIRCUMSTANCE where I would search Google for a water bottle. I would go to Amazon, or maybe somehwhere else I already had an account.
B) I have piles of water bottles. None of them are 20-oz. That would last me less than an hour.
C) WHAT THE HELL DOES A SERIES OF DEPRESSING IMAGES HAVE TO DO WITH SEARCHING FOR A DANG WATER BOTTLE?

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
