Pros

Cons

If I knew then what I know now I would not have done this HIT. Very glitchy and would often lock up my entire computer. Had to close down all open windows multiple times and reopen to get back to the games. Videos were laggy that we had to rate. Hoping for the best on this one. I have screenshots of all the issues in case there is a problem with approval.

There is absolutely NO way to complete this in 36 minutes as suggested by another reviewer. You have to wait for items to load and have a survey at the end. I definitely say you WILL be spending at least 50 minutes on this HIT. That would be worth it but if you have trouble like me you'll wish you hadn't bothered.

Good

Unrated

Approved

$10.55 / hour

Pros

Play a game and then review your game while rating your "arousal" level. This was interesting, allowed for breaks as needed and every single game was exactly 2 minutes long and the review was 2 minutes long. While that DID mean you couldn't go any faster even if you wanted too, it allowed for time to rest your eyes.

Also, every game was different which was fun.

Cons

The replays of some of the games made me dizzy, so I required a few more breaks than others may need.

Advice to Requester

Up the competitiveness by offering a bonus for coming in first during the races!

Pros

-Games were engaging and actually pretty fun
-Clean interface on some of the games

Cons

Pretty long. This is really the amount of time it will take. So there are 9 trials(games), each being 2 minutes long. however, after each 2 minute game, you then need to watch yourself and rate the arousal levels, for 2 minutes. So you have 9x4 = 36 minutes right there. However, each phase the upload time take a while too. Between 30sec and 1min. Overall, this might be able to be done quicker, but dont expect to be.

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
