Anyone get a response back on the rejected television show hint? I did. Um, yeah, thanks but no thanks.

Yes, a lot of participants are being rejected because they did not accurately answer the attention check question. I purposely imbedded a specific instruction within the directions to make sure everyone carefully read the survey. The directions indicated that you select a specific answer on a specific question. This survey is part of a very important study and is is highly important for me to verify that the participants are giving the study their full attention. I will be posting more hits in a few days. You are welcome to take it when I release it again.
Yeah I got the exact same email, word for word. Bullshit I'm taking any more of her HITs. I hope no one takes them. I'm salty.

My first computer was 8 mb or something like that and I remember my husband adding memory. This was in 1996 I believe. As much as I hate to admit it I liked our webtv better than the computer. Then we got aol and life changed. From aol we went to msn.
I had to spend like $300 bucks to upgrade my pile of shit to run Win95

That's a crappy response. I wouldn't take one from her again either.

I also got a similar email. It seems that the integrity of her study comes not only at the cost of HER reputation, but also at the cost of Clemson University's reputation, too. Seems she's representing her school in a negative light here.

(And yes, I did leave TO already.)

Re: the television HIT


Hi Jan,

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Let me begin by offering my sincere apology for the issue with the attention check. I have contacted my student and we are working to resolve the issue and to compensate participants whose surveys were originally rejected. We value the participation of those who work on Mturk and we're committed to ensuring they are compensated for their time.

Please feel free to share my response in your forum. We will also be responding directly to emails we've received about this issue.

Again, thanks for taking the time to notify me and giving me the opportunity to fix the problem.

Best,

(I took her name out, but it looks like she would be fine with it included)
:)
