Earn up to $3 in a 15 min partner task - $3.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Good

Approved

$45.57 / hour

00:07:54 / completion time

Pros

Messaged req regarding bonus on 7/2, 7/6.

Update: I have not received a response to my messages sent through AMT, so reached out to the principle investigator via email on 7/14.
Update: After a loooooot of back and forth through email, they eventually awarded the bonus. It was not their intention to offer a bonus, but after pointing out the language within the task, the monies were conferred.

Cons

I'm not sure if they were using language from a previous study (or something along those lines), but if you are anticipating a bonus, it will not be awarded without some solicitation.

Group Study - Earn $2.50 plus a $1-$7 bonus for 45-minute study - $2.50

Good

Unrated

Pending

$5.87 / hour

00:25:33 / completion time

Pros

I only wound up passing the test and then letting the hit sit in a tab while I did other things, so if you only count time spent on the hit the hourly is much closer to $96/hr (as it took me about 1.5 minutes to get to the waiting room)

Cons

- They apparently had too many people signed up and thus I didn't get to play the actual game
- They use a 25 minute wait timer for some reason, meaning you accept the hit and then just... wait.

Group Study - Earn $2.50 plus a $1-$7 bonus for 45-minute study - $2.50 +3.70 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Pending

$12.00 / hour

00:31:00 / completion time

Pros

Chance at a fair sized bonus.
Completion time was quicker than stated.

Cons

Must wait in a "waiting room". My wait was 18 minutes but during that time I was able to go at my own pace reading the instructions and passing a few comprehension checks. Supposedly you'll be kicked out if responses aren't made within a set amount of time.

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
