Jury Study(~ 60 minutes) - $10.00

Fair

Acceptable

Approved

$5.37 / hour

01:51:49 / completion time

Pros

reading the court cases is interesting and the pay is low but not hugely out of line. could possibly be done more quickly but since attention checks are included it isn't reasonable to just skim. takes well over an hour for only $10.

Cons

this is my third trial for this requester and i have communicated with him in some detail. he believes he is leaving plenty of time but i have been down to 5 min on each of the three. actually first one timed out on me and i didn't get paid. explained to him the way hits aren't always started immediately and the clock isn't long enough. rather than choosing to change anything he just added a note to the instructions indicating you should start immediately after accepting the hit. he didn't understand me or didn't care. i did another one just to double check myself on time and found it to be the same - barely enough if you're careful to not run over. i'll work for this guy when nothing else is going on but i'm not impressed with him. also appears to have completely ripped off another requester's jury hits -- practically word for word. very classy,..

Advice to Requester

include a longer clock or a shorter hit. i'm a quick reader and in three of these hits i've been down to the wire. what's the big rush? pay more if you want to rush us unnecessarily.

Approved

$15.01 / hour

Pros

Pay rate is okay, if it pays.

Cons

Edit: Approved fairly quickly. I don't think it's actually Empirical Jury though since their regular account is currently active with their normal system/format. EJ has also never approved within 30 minutes.

Old: New requester. Be careful with this one. Unless it's inexplicably Empirical Jury adjacent, it has basically plagiarized the wording and format of all Empirical Jury studies, word for word, except in Qualtrics instead of Surveymonkey. The content itself is shorter/simpler than most Empirical Jury studies. No consent form data. URL says it's from Arizona State University.

Pros

Cons

"It was the combination that was dangerous. Assume this is true for a moment (even if you don’t agree in this case). What is a metaphor for this? What is something like this, where two things are connected or used together in a way that they become a unit? They become connected enough that is more fair to think of them together, instead of apart?"

So they have graduated from simply asking for a metaphor and/or a bumper sticker to....this.

Advice to Requester

Please John stop trying to be creative with the prompts. Most of the time it's nonsense and frustrating to answer. Please take a second look at your prompts and make them easier to answer. They are not thought provoking but rather just so out there that they are hard to answer.

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
