when i was a grad student we had to complete online training courses on ethics in research involving human participants every couple of years for our lab to maintain IRB approval. i don't exactly remember every single detail from those courses but i have a very hard time wrapping my head around how most of the shit that i hear about getting pulled on mturk squares with that
The worst was that economist who wanted to see 'how low we'd go.' (Literally, his hypothesis had something to do with how little you could pay someone to do something that they'd find offensive (ethically). So, some folks would get to write a nice letter to an inmate: Go for it!
Others would get a pedophile. (Keep your head up, child abuser??)
Then, he'd ask you to tag photos of puppies
Or, horrible (trauma invoking - not just cuts -more like decapitation stuff) photos.
It was the most unethical thing I'd ever heard of.
A few people reported nightmares afterwards. Folks with trauma, already, reported flashbacks.

Totally unethical.

<p>Hey team,</p><p>We need your help to get the older hits completed as soon as possible as they are sitting for quite some time. If they sit longer, we may have to open up more qualifications which may dilute the amount of available work. Thought we would reach out and ask you for the help first before taking any steps.</p><p>Thanks!</p>

Do your STR11223344 HITs or SarahAshlee90 @SarahAshlee90 is going to get the qual and do them for you.

jan @jan i'm not quote-replying because that is too vile to repeat. the effects you mention on the participants is precisely the kind of thing research ethics exists to make sure doesn't happen. who tf allowed an *economist* to do research with human participants? did this dipshit suffer any consequences? i'm realising as i'm typing this that they probably aren't even a researcher with an institutional affiliation, just some clown with a book deal, a stack of money & an idea to try out. i'm so fkn mad!!

No consequences that I'm aware of.
I can't remember his name, but he published with that crap.
We had written up a whole thread on mturkgrind - but that's now gone (I looked for it, the forum is now gone).
It's somewhere on turk opticon - with our review of the jerk. But he's a phd - and he had 2 others who published with him on that crap (iirc).
The most unsafe part of it was that we weren't there in the lab (it's pretty odious no matter what). But at least if you have the subject in the lab, you can caretake. Over the internet.....there's next to no accountability. Your subject has a horrible week and you have no idea. Complete BS. I do believe he got IRB approval. I don't know how he wrote that up - but there is NO way he included the photos.

Prolific-ers. So how often do you get an eMail notice of a Prolific survey, but it turns out you're not to be eligible? (I just finished all the demographic questions, and all the other stuff. I think.)

I don't get any emails from prolific except saying payment approved for a HIT. I find having a tab open is as technical as it gets for me. I get about £35 a over two weeks on average just by catching what I see. But it seems very flood or drought. Either I've loads or none.

I'm looking. I'd like to see what happened to him, too
i found a couple of threads started by "niloufar" who identified themself as a stanford researcher interested in improving ethics standards. reading through those now (although the main issues seem to be related to the use of inquisit, & some study where the researcher wildly violated the tos by creating a ton of fake accounts)
