Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

jardines

After 8-9 months of churning through hundreds of 15 minute video studies it feels strange going back to longer ones. My main conclusion is they are woefully underpaid for the effort they require.

This 👆️ it's hard to go back

I'm still getting a lot of the 15mins ones. There was 78 there when I logged in this morning

Loads of 15 minutes ones this afternoon, but I keep getting a message about 'there has been an error' and to go back to your provider. I've cancelled 3 this afternoon. I'm worried I'm going to get blocked or something. I'm not that familiar with Chrome, the only time I use it is for these surveys. Is there a way of clearing the cache, I'm not sure if that could be an issue? I did a couple successfully this morning, but think I may have clicked on something to effectively restart a survey as I was finishing, I got an error message (can't remember what but it suggested I hadn't input any data and wouldn't get paid, but I did). Have rebooted the computer since then, and his afternoon am getting these problems.

Prolific themselves have technical problems which they say they are working on. I've clicked to dismiss the message now, though.

OK thanks, phew.

I'm also getting the "something went wrong, please go back to your provider" message so just copying text into additional comments in reason why returned

I have over 400 of the AI studies showing at the moment but the average time on most are less than 10minutes so looks like many are returning them

I don’t know why these 15 minute AI studies need to be listed separately. Why not just have one study, allow multiple completions and a number available being much larger.

We’re currently experiencing technical issues across certain areas of the site. We’re actively working to resolve this. In the meantime, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

This morning it says:

We are aware that some studies are returning a "Something went wrong. Please go back to your provider" error. If you experience this issue, please return the study.
