Anybody got a time consensus on the SelfConcept yet?
Hi,
I can give some clarity on that (researcher working on this project). The 10 hour estimate was based on our pilot work, but we have changed the list of tasks a bit so things could change. Based on the people who have run through the tasks so far (20 or so people have gotten to each task), if I average the amount of time taken on each task and sum them I get 5.6 hours. This doesn't include surveys (there are ~20 surveys). I don't have info on how long each survey takes, but if they each take an average of 10 minutes, we'd still only be at 9 hours, and I doubt people spend 10 minutes on average across all surveys (some surveys have 1 question, some have 40).
The time estimate I gave above does not include instruction time for each task. I'd imagine that each task (not surveys) should take at least 2 minutes of instruction time. If that's true, and there are 35 tasks I believe, that's around another hour and ten minutes. So let's guess 7 hours plus survey time.
It is difficult to perfectly determine how long such a long HIT takes, but we believe we've been slightly conservative with our 10 hour estimate. There will be a bit of wiggle room, but most tasks take a set amount of time regardless of how you take them.
I hope that helps!
