10 minute communication study for $0.80 (if unmatched), $1-$1.20 if matched(~ 10 minutes) - $1.00 +0.50 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$13.74 / hour

00:06:33 / completion time

Pros

Maybe a bonus?

Update: It originally said the bonus would be 0 to 20 cents. Got an email within a few hours saying they were made aware of technical difficulties with their chat platform and giving a higher bonus of 50 cents. Not sure if the technical difficulties relate to the wait times I mentioned, I didn't notice any issues.

Cons

Maybe not a bonus. Either it wasn't specified or I missed it in the debrief. Either way the pay is only fair, you have to sit on the chat page until it expires regardless of how quickly you and your partner are done chatting (took us like a minute, then 4 minutes of waiting).

Update: Higher bonus brings the pay up to generous, but don't count on it.

2nd wave of 4 wave study for full time workers who interact with colleagues(~ 2 minutes) - $0.50

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$21.43 / hour

00:01:24 / completion time

Pros

Took much less time to complete than expected, resulting in a generou pay rating. Super simple and straightforward scales.

I screwed up the copy/paste for the survey code and contacted the requester about it. They were quick to respond and assure me it was approved. Excellent communicativeness.

Cons

I didn't see any notification the HIT was posted via email reminder and had to double-check I'd done the previous HIT in the study to make sure I was able to do this one.

Complete by 4/4: Final Work Experiences Longitudinal Survey ($1 now, $1 bonus)(~ 20 minutes) - $1.00 +1.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$13.38 / hour

00:08:58 / completion time

Pros

Last of a series of biweekly surveys, mostly the same each time, over a two-year period.
Pretty straightforward questions.

Cons

Each survey was a dollar instantly and a dollar as bonus. I guess there was a reason for this but two bucks all at once would have been nice.

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
