Memory and Decision-Making Experiment(~ 10 minutes) - $2.00 +10.00 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$13.54 / hour

00:53:10 / completion time

Pros

Fair compensation.
ymmv, can maybe be done a little faster.

Cons

ymmv, could take longer for slower workers.
Requires full attention/ full screen/ quite a bit of mental effort.

Looking at the other review of this, it looks like the other worker only got the $10 completion fee. At the end of mine, it said I would get 10 + a few dollars extra bonus from some of the tasks.

EDIT: $10 bonus came through about an hour or two after completing, but didn't see any extra bonus. Messaged the requester... EDIT2: ...and was told the $10 is the bonus and that they are giving the full $10 to most people??? From my understanding at the beginning, the $10 sounded guaranteed. I'd be pissed if I did all that work and didn't at least get the extra 10.
For a survey that requires this amount of attention, during the heart of the day, I usually expect a little more in regards to payment. Especially because if a good batch pops up while you are in the middle of it, you can't take a break. If I did something like this late at night, it wouldn't matter as much. Changing pay to good, but not generous, for that reason.

Advice to Requester

Pay out is a bit unclear and could probably be clarified a little better in the survey.

Smoking and Drinking Behaviors(~ 10 minutes) - $2.00

Generous

Excellent

Approved

$21.11 / hour

00:05:41 / completion time

Pros

The survey was straightforward with clear, understandable questions. I was easily able to complete it quickly enough that the pay rate overall was quite nice.

There was a slight technical error at the end which didn't stop me from submitting the HIT but would have been visually unsettling for a new survey taker, so I messaged the Requester to let them know/provide details so they could fix it. I received a response within an hour. Now that is how proper communication is done! Thus, I rated the Communication score as "Excellent" as well as the pay score for this HIT being "Generous."

Cons

None.

Advice to Requester

Keep doing what you're doing, on both pay and communication. I'm impressed!

Learning and Judgement Task(~ 3 minutes) - $0.50 +15.50 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Excellent

Approved

$20.99 / hour

00:45:44 / completion time

Pros

Demo/Tutorial if you pass you get to go to the main tasks - Demographics - read instructions - work through the images as instructed - there are 2 breaks given - read further instructions and work on the next phase of the task - the last phase is a lot quicker than the other two - answer some personal demographic type questions - almost instant approval and payment of bonus - great communication with the requester as I had to ask a question about the bonus - generous pay

Cons

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
