Thanks, I didn't want to cause any trouble. In that case...can I ask you, [member=920]katykicker[/member] ?

 

[katykicker]

What is it [member=1238]MintySky[/member] ? Drop me an email, mrskatystevens@gmail.com I'll try and find time this weekend

 

[MintySky]

It's just a short quiz asking qus about my personality (you can say whatever you like!) - I already did it and it took less than a minute. You can leave it if it's too much though, I don't mind. Thanks [member=920]katykicker[/member] ;D

Nah that'll be fine [member=1238]MintySky[/member] - it'll probably tell me I'm a psychopath.

Has anyone else noticed the the equivalent hourly rate on some of the studies has dropped considerably? I've had quite a few recently that are only paying around £3.60 ish per hour. Just looked and there's one at the moment offering £4.30 per hour.

But according to P.A's own 'about' section:

On Prolific, we endorse the principle of 'ethical rewards'. That is, we stipulate that researchers compensate participants with at least £5 (~6.50€ / $7.50) per hour.

You should drop them a message [member=224]Topaz[/member] . I think once researchers are approved they can just put up studies. It'll be a shame if they start going downhill !

 

[Topaz]

Yes, I think I'll do that [member=920]katykicker[/member] I've actually been passing on some of the studies lately because they are so low paid. £3 for an hour long study isn't good!

 

[katykicker]

Hard to know how long they really take too isn't it [member=224]Topaz[/member]

 

[Topaz]

Yep. Sometimes they are shorter, sometimes longer than the estimate. I've sent them a message to see what they say.

I've not had any for a few days now, despite checking regularly.

Not sure if it is down to my demographics which are not the best.

 

[Topaz]

I've had a reply from P.A. regarding the lower than £5 per hour payments:

Thanks for your message. We had instances, where this happened, due to researchers estimating an average completion time and then participants actually taking longer than expected. However, we always try to fix this by contacting the researchers and ask them to either increase the basic payment or pay the participants a bonus payment afterwards to cover the difference in time. We are also working on a solution to stop this from happening in the first place. If you see a study that shows a lower payment, please let us know and we will take care of it!

I can see a lot of messaging happening

I hadn't had any for a while either [member=4097]Knopfler[/member] and then today I filled in a couple more questions that had appeared on the profile page and got 2 invites straight away. One being a really lovely one all about periods and brown chicken brown cow lol

 

[Topaz]

Thanks for letting us know [member=224]Topaz[/member] !

I sent a screenshot earlier of one offering £2.97 per hour!

 

[Darkhorse]

Is anyone else doing the 8 day diary study within an hour before they go to bed every night, the one with a really good overall fee?

Just wondered whether anyone had got it to work on an iPhone or iPad, as there isn't an arrow on the keyboard to take me to all the fields?

Or does it work on a laptop?

Just that I'm going away for a few days and want to know if I need to borrow a laptop or PC.

Prolific Academic is one of my favourite survey sites, too. They offer really interesting studies, tasks, quizzes, memory tests, political opinions and all sorts of things. I cash out regularly. I find the best way to get studies, is to leave the tab open on your laptop. You can then just refresh it now and again to see if anything is available. They also send out survey notifications sometimes, too.
