Had 2 studies this morning! One in German, £1.50 plus some pretty decent bonus payments (I hope at least!) and this one:

Being the HR Manager: A work simulation study
Hosted by psy.uq.edu.au
£2.6030 minutes £5.20/hr 34 places remaining

Was quite interesting actually, something a little different from your usual survey

I couldn't get into the pretend email account....no doubt my submission will be rejected. Did you have a problem with that?

I also had that one. It flipped to the other half automatically after 10 minutes. Was quite interesting.

Yeah, the flipping between the two tasks (answering emails and proposing solutions to a problem) happened automatically, so I had no control over that part of it.

Are you saying the email account just didn't work for you when you switched to that task? Might be worth messaging the researcher if you stuck with it but it just didn't work.

Mine flipped back and forth every 3.33 minutes btw, so I'm guessing how often it switched may have been different for different groups.

Yes...couldn't get username/password combo to work. In the end I convinced myself it was a bluff and they were measuring stress!!! Anyhoo, I left a note in the message box at the end as I only managed to complete half the survey.

How weird! Mine were already filled in (username and password were the same, it was just something like 'participant123456' - not exactly of course, but that sort of thing).
