​

Pros:
It seems daunting at first because it's 1h of audio, but you just need to say when a song starts, so you click "New Song" than hit "30s skip" a couple times to the next song (or ad), click a button, skip skip skip, button, etc.
15min for $5 is pretty fair.

Cons:
Audio.
You may not enjoy the station you get (mine was popular music, so it wasn't too bad).

Honestly, he's not bothersome on my 24inch screen when my window takes the full screen, but on this 21inch with only half window, the bunny takes like 25% of screen real estate

John Campbell [AFOLU40A8Z0WP] Jury Duty - The Kind You Get Paid For - Be a Mock Juror and Earn Money (National)(~ 40 minutes) - $2.00 $2.50 bonus | PANDA

Underpaid

Unrated

Unrated

$7.49 / hour
00:36:04 / completion time

​

Pros:
This survey was hosted on asuclas.qualtrics.com with branding for the Arizona State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLUS) - it provides an Informed Consent sheet stating the study is being run by Dr. Jessica M. Salerno and has been approved by the Arizona State University Chair of the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board.

The Requester name, however, is John Campbell - a name previously linked to "Empirical Jury" requester account that has run almost identical studies in the past.

Cons:
The consent sheet provides the following under "Risks"

"RISKS
As a result of reading about the legal case, you might experience negative mood or feelings. However, these feelings will be no different from what you might experience reading or watching the news. You will be asked to provide your opinions to a number of questions and complete tasks that you would experience if you were called for jury duty."

AFTER accepting this, on the very next page, you're presented with threats of legal liability in response to your participation in the survey.

Which leaves me super confused why an IRB is approving work that was previous run by a private business and allowing legal threats to be left in the study without including them on the consent sheet.

Nonetheless, I completed the study which offers a bonus of $2.50 for completing memory checks which are fairly in-depth and also places the approval of your work under an undisclosed threshold. I felt it was incredibly underpaid for the gravity & importance placed on the work in the study and hope ASU reviews its policies on this research in the future.

I would, personally, not recommend completing studies for this researcher since the risks far outweight the benefits & wages associated with the work. I don't believe placing it under an academic umbrella excuses the incredibly low wages being paid to contract workers.

The questions required for the bonus are in-depth. The study presents information that, under normal jury duty, would span days/weeks of time to commit to memory and requires recall of them in the small span of 30-60 minutes. Failure to earn the bonus would leave this work paying $3.33/hour and I tend to complete work 20% faster than the average worker, I think the majority of individuals who participate in this research, even if they earn the bonus, will likely be completing it at below federal minimum wage.
