    > Did you complete the survey? — e.g. "y" or "n"

    So, just the letter y, nothing else.
    I don't trust these nonstandard completion methods.
    Codes provide better verification.

    > Do you believe in a god or gods? – Yes or No

    I assume they answer with which way they lean slightly. Not trying to start a religious debate at all, but I consider myself agnostic, but also have a belief toward one side vs the other.

    ¹ Participants (N = 201) were recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service, restricted to people in the United States, with an approval rating of 95% or above and more than 500 approved HITs. Participants were compensated for their participation. The sample size was chosen in advance, given an expectation of medium effect sizes. The data were not analyzed until all participants had responded. Six participants were excluded for failing an attention check, as explained below. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 83, with a median age of 31 years. Of the participants, 72 identified as female. No additional demographic information was collected from participants. Participants provided informed consent via web-form, for this and the next studies. All experiments were approved by the MIT Committee on the Use of Experiments with Human as Experiment Subjects.

    ETA: "This is a clickable link", since no one seemed to actually check out the study, instead just commenting on the quote above, which was just to whet the appetite for the damn study. You people... no love for Bowie even.

    What I think is that a lot of this repetitive crap should be covered in profiling surveys, similar to the ones Amazon now provides. There we'd record our basic demographic data, and some of our general attitudes and beliefs as well. — In exchange for that, we'd be required to keep that information updated. And also in exchange, requesters could be asked to use the profile data (instead of asking us questions we've answered hundreds of times before).

    Happy Memorial Day!

    Kiddo and I have been laying flowers picked from our garden for 12?13? years now (can't remember what year I started this tradition with him) at the memorial in front of our county courthouse. It is six sided and lists all who died in our country from WWI-Gulf War. (Ours are the tiny little ones at the base wrapped in foil).

    I think they charge for most quals, even the demo ones, and also there is no logic in this place.
