$7.15 / hour

Pros

Cons

Not sure what will happen. The chatroom appears to be broken, no one joined, it timed out and I refreshed and waited even longer. Finally I clicked to move on. I did answer honestly that the chat never connected and I did not fill out any further responses with misleading information. I was hoping the HIT would have a freeform box to type in, but it didn't. I got a completion code and I submitted. So I might get rejected and I guess I'll be ok with that. Workers' time waiting around on these broken HITS should be compensated in some way.... in a perfect world!

Advice to Requester

Check on the chat platform in your HIT! I honestly did wait a very fair amount of time and did not try to submit any answers that would skew data. The rest of the HIT flowed smoothly, but the chat interface isn't working.

Computer Negotiation(~ 20 minutes) - $2.50 +6.50 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$36.00 / hour

00:15:00 / completion time

Pros

Very generous bonus opportunities. YMMV. At the request of the requester, withholding my bonus until the survey has finished and I receive the bonus. One cent placeholder.

Edit: survey appears to be over. Bonus paid 7/31.

Cons

Timed pages throughout.

10 minute chat, though if you reach an agreement sooner, you can leave the chat.

Chatroom Negotiation(~ 17 minutes) - $3.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$22.13 / hour

Pros

Waited several minutes for a partner to show up, but no one did. The screen autoadvanced to take me to a page of instructions about how to submit the HIT and receive compensation for my time even though I didn't get to participate in the experiment. Very cool of the requester!

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
