Mine also approved. The one last night had two attention questions right at the start, both directly relating to the introductory scenario you'd just read. If you got those wrong then maybe you do need to pay a little more attention.

I did pay my full attention so have no idea why he keeps failing my surveys. :eek:Two in a row.

It also had a lot of attention checks.

I think I might have missed one, Sunday morning and all. Oh well if so.

I had one approved for £2.50 from earlier which was about programming and maths, which was x-rated for 7.30am on a Sunday...

Right, I'm caving and withdrawing via Circle instead of PayPal. I saw on the referrals board a Circle thread but it seems it only benefits referrers/referees (?) if you're actually sending £25+... Is that correct or am I just being dense?

Anyway, if it's of any benefit to anyone, feel free to DM me a referral link

I just hope they are not using all those "attentions checkers":( to avoid paying us but still use our answers? His rewards are not very generous either. The last one from Roman R. which I failed was for 40p

If it's the same 40p one from that researcher that I did, it was an estimated 4 minute survey - so the minimum he could have paid was 33p, and even if you did take the full 4 minutes that 40p worked out to £5.87 per hour.... not stingy at all! And they've paid out within 24 hours of me doing the study.

Attention checks are used to make sure that the data that goes into the scientific paper or coursework is valid data with each question answered properly. So of course, if you don't give the right answer to the attention checks, then your data is completely unusable, as they have proof that your data isn't real or genuine.

I would imagine it's a PITA for them too, because they'll have a required number of responses that they need for the results of the study to be believable and if too many people fail the checks they have to come back and collect more data.

At the end of the day, if I fail because I missed an attention check, that's my fault for not paying enough attention.

Brief study on British political opinions, £1.75 for 20 minutes.

Picked this one up at 4.30am, so it seems to have been sitting around all night.

Silver lining on a jet lagged cloud.

Picked that up in the cab from the airport! Also one that must have been on offer for a few hours.

How do people allocate resources? from three weeks ago paid but I'm sure it was supposed to come with a bonus?

I got carried away and gave the wrong answer to an attention check
so returned it rather than get a rejection :doh:
