There will be less studies till September.Nope - universities are very much open, though term has come to an end. Now that teaching is finished we (that is, academics) are still working, researching, and prepping for who knows how many different scenarios of what the next academic year looks like. In fact, this is the only time that many of us have had to do active research in months.(And this academic, in what remains of his rapidly diminishing spare time, has made £40 from Prolific this week - plenty of surveys about!)2

I had one declined yesterday for failing the attention check. Was pretty sure I hadn’t but decided to leave it till today before challenging. Woke up this morning to an apology and a payment. Very odd.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1 -
Yes very. I read the instructions carefully, answered the questions, was told "you don't seem to have understood, read the instructions again". Still didn't get it and was told goodbye, so had to return the study. But I've not been paid!GingerTim said:Messed up the instructions comprehension check on a study the stockmarket task, but still got the £2.50! Very odd.0 -
I entered 'NOCODE' as per usual after it kicked me out and asked for a completion code - no idea if that had an effect, probably just a fluke.1

Someone who has been a member of prolific for a few years has stated they been asked to provide proof of identity.I understand they were doing this for new members but has anyone else on here who is a long term member been asked?If they are going to ask everyone it may take them a while to work through the thousands of people they have on their books.1

I have not been asked yet slightly worried now as I do not have any photo id's so it would mean the end for me with prolificyupiteru said:Someone who has been a member of prolific for a few years has stated they been asked to provide proof of identity.I understand they were doing this for new members but has anyone else on here who is a long term member been asked?If they are going to ask everyone it may take them a while to work through the thousands of people they have on their books.1 -

I am not pretending to be who I am not obviously, but I do not have a passport or a driving license.I did not have enough suitable identity to hire a carpet cleaning machine, so I bought one instead.0
