Hi there,
My colleagues and I are conducting a study that have Mturkers play an interactive game online. We need to have about 14 participants accept the HIT within a 15 minute timeframe so that they can play the game with one another. I will be posting the HIT at 4:30PM today and if there is demand I will be posting a few more after that. I wanted to advertise the HIT ahead of time so that participants can accept the HIT at around the same time to play the simultaneous game. Due to the way it is programmed, each HIT corresponds to one game. If you have played this game before with a different HIT, you will not be able to accept the HIT. We intend on posting the HIT several more times in coming days to get enough data for our study.
We have had difficulties recruiting enough live players within the 15 minute time frame, and a participant kindly suggested we make use of this forum. Please let me know if this is not the right place for this - I am still learning the ropes.
Please check my colleague (who is the requester)'s TurkerView profile by putting his name Robert Chaudoin in the search box. (I tried to paste the link here but having the link flagged the post as spam-like)
Here is the title of the HIT that will go up :
Play an interactive game for approx. 40 min and earn bonus payment of approx. $6 - 12.
The base payment is $5.
The description of the HIT:
The bonus will range from $6-12, but can potentially be higher or lower. Answer some survey questions. Then learn to play a simple game and play it with other mturkers online. The HIT takes approx. 40 min and this includes the maximum time spent waiting for other players to join. You must participate within three minutes of accepting the HIT and for the whole duration of the game. There is a base payment and then you will receive a bonus based on how well you do in the game.
I don't actually have access to the HIT ID, but I am hoping you will be able to find it by searching for the title.
If you don't end up getting matched after the maximum 15 minute wait in the waiting room, you will be excused from the study and will still receive the $5 show up fee (base payment).
Thank you so much for reading.
