The researcher ended up sending out the survey by email.

I've had a number of surveys this afternoon, 4 in fact....and not including one which I returned because I had to do a webcam chat...

Good times - but there was just one which was 86p on management stuff and....not fun.

The webcam chat one was hilarious - basically you're trying to convince someone to lie their backside off to get more money

Anyone did a study today about watching 15 videos (parental/child behaviours) and commenting on what happened?

I had that study pop up last week or so but today finally got through.

That study took time i must say and with watching the vids and forming your own analysis was a time consumers. I think payment should have been a little more.

I did it the other day. I doubt it was any kind of study, they were just asking for your notes to confirm you watched the videos and reinforce learning. I found it very interesting and worthwhile; I wish I had known the technique when my son was younger.

my previous survey was rejected on grounds i failed a quality check question, But they allowed me to continue and waste 15 mins doing the survey. Barstewards.

I found it rather interesting and have tried to apply some of the techniques in the videos. Money for old rope that one was. I didn’t sign up for further “studies” on that though.

Yeah i do agree the information in the videos was very helpful and interesting.

Could anyone find those vids on youtube??

Has anyone else noticed that when their survey responses are approved the amount paid is often less than the amount originally offered?

A couple of times and by a couple of pence, yes. I figured this was to do with US researchers paying in USD. As an example - I did a reading \ comprehension exercise the other day promising 2 cents bonus payment per correct answer - which translated to one penny (!!) per answer.
