10/19 - Fall Weather Friday!

[K'Lee]

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot worth working on. I guess I missed out on Alexandria's today. Hub made pork chops so I'm going to eat dinner.

IRBs should establish a base rate that's acceptable to pay your research subjects and trying to pay someone 2 dollars for a 90 minute survey should be considered an ethics violation

I was just looking at that thinking the same thing. I know a lot of these are underpaid, but that went above and beyond in that category.

Look at all of the reject potential:
WARNING - You will not receive payment for the hit if:

1) You do not complete the survey.

2) Upon completion, you fail to give your Worker ID on the last question of the survey.

3) Upon completion, you fail to give your Worker ID in the above textbox.

4) Upon completion, you fail to give an ID on the last question of the survey that matches the ID placed in the above comment box.

5) You have already taken this survey.

6) You do not meet study participant requirements posted in the Informed Consent.

Not that any of this is unusual, but they seem awfully bossy for not wanting to pay anything for a 90 minute survey.

The $2/90 minute HIT has a threat to reject if you try to complete it twice.

Some of them do.

A lot of IRBs also make it a requirement that you be compensated for your time even if you don't finish the study, which is obviously often ignored on mturk.

Some also have requirements that you can't PAY TOO MUCH as it could be construed as "undue influence."

 

[Pleco]

Just a quick note to requesters out there. You can unduly influence me any time you want.

Translated:
If you have taken this study before or can't enter your AMT ID properly, your submission will be rejected. Pretty standard. Just looks like a lot when listed like that.

I did mine 10/12.

 

[Starslip]

I did mine 10/12.

...I was hoping you'd say like "noon"

Lol. I was reading it as "10 or 12". I'm so stupid sometimes.

 

[Jaded]

I just had to save a cat cause it got its toe bean stuck in a part of the cage and I started crying because he was so sad and crying and that is just ridiculous.

I don't know if that's necessary. I'm pretty sure I was just half-awake.

Or like a lot when they are paying $2 for 1.5 hrs. But, yeah, pretty standard, just something about the big WARNING makes it stand out more.

What's a toe bean?
