Hello everyone! This is to inform everyone that we will be launching a Purdue scientific study this afternoon! In this study, you will be asked to predict the outcome of a speed date. We will provide some information about both members of the couple, and then we will ask you to predict if one of the speed dating participants will want to see the other speed dating participant again on another date. There are 40 tasks of this type as part of the HIT. HIT Information: Requester Name: Purdue Crowdsourcing Lab HIT title: Predict Speed Dating Outcomes and Get Up to $2.00! Time: Today, August 14th, at 3 PM ET Expected HIT length: about 15-20 minutes Qualifications Required: Number of HITs Approved greater than or equal to 500, Location is the US HIT expectations: We will submit the HIT to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk at 3 PM ET on August 14th (Today). We will need 800 workers to complete the HIT. The base payment for completing the HIT is $1.00 and will be paid within 10 minutes of completing the task. We also offer bonus payment of an additional $1.00 on top of the base payment. We will randomly select one of the 40 tasks that you answered, and if your final prediction for that task was correct, you will receive the bonus. You will be informed at the end of the HIT whether or not you will receive the bonus. All bonuses will be paid within 72 hours of HIT completion.
Our task is now up! We will be releasing the HITs throughout the next 5 hours. We have also upped our base payment from $1.00 to $1.50, so workers can now make up to $2.50 with our task!
