06/13 - Thoughtful Thursday!

[scrmcasey]

I'm hopeful that I can *really* spend more time here, but honestly today might be a fluke. Right now I have time because my 2-year-old and husband are both sick and asleep. But a girl can dream, right?!

I'm just holding on by a thread until school starts back up, so I feel for you!

So this is something I found interesting, somewhat related to not submitting a survey you worked hard on due to risk of rejection.

It's human nature to over-weigh potential losses when comparing to potential gains. People will decline taking a gamble that on average would be profitable if there is something to lose (ie, 50% to gain $6 vs 50% to lose $5.) The theory is that the unpleasant feeling of loss has a value that the potential upside has to overcome for a person to choose it. It's often illogical.

Because this is a popular topic in psychology a lot of requesters on mturk will ask questions about this phenomena framed in different ways.

Update to : Despairagus has no chill about the $11 hit shenanigans

He emailed me back, gave me a link to complete the code, and says he'll approve. Not sure how since it's not a survey on mturk now but I guess we'll figure it out.

Gotta love how the reply is quick when the timer isn't counting down on the hit.

Does it somehow reflect badly on your worker account if you don't return a HIT and allow it to expire instead?

Final Update: Steve You helped me to finish the survey and sent me a dummy vid. He's an okay guy.

Just clicked past the code page of a survey.

Haven't done that in a while

I submitted it anyway of course.

I find sour cream blends a bit better but, same idea.

On that note, you may lose a bit of flavor, since sour cream is a bit milder, imo. Maybe a soft goat cheese would be a good middle ground.

Heh can't imagine Steve's happy with the trailer considering how may throwbacks to a movie he's famously known to despise.

At some point in my life I was. But, I've also been cooking and learning to cook for almost 40 years and just love to create things. Plus, I've had great food places but, to get perfect food, I usually have to make it myself. Of course, everyone has a different idea of perfect so, it makes sense that I would be the only person to accurately achieve the exact flavor profile that I'm tasting in my head.

Fwiw, a lot of this kind of research is useless because it fails to account for the fact that the real value of money to a person isn't necessarily linear. For example, if you bring $10 to work with you for lunch and someone offers you some kind of slightly profitable $10 wager, it's completely rational to pass on that wager, because you'll be starving all afternoon if you lose.

I enjoy cooking, too. I enjoy experimenting. And I know what you mean, about aiming to achieve that imagined flavor profile that's tickling the back of your palate.
