More like this I could do with, a very short screener for a future study.

Genuinely took a minute or two to complete.

I did a curiosity one this afternoon where you had to say what the next number was in a series. Messaged them to point out that two of their examples were wrong - no response as yet. I did wonder if it was deliberate, but then they couldn’t spell professional correctly either.

CEO actions and firm performance

By Nils Verheuvel

-1 place

During this experiment, you are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a hypothetical firm. You will participate in two separate experiments as CEO. In each experiment you can take different actions that affect the performance of the firm. Your payment depends on the performance of the firm and thus on your actions. This experiment uses bonus payments, based on your performance.

You have a guaranteed minimum payment of 2.50 GBP, but the average payment is around 5.00 GBP. The timing of the payment depends on the specific experiment, but is always within three weeks.

Got paid for this study that I took on April 12 a couple of weeks ago and did not think much about the bonus, but this morning got a bonus payment of £6.15 which was a pleasant surprise.

Nice!  I only earned a £2.75 bonus on that one, but I was happy with it.

I'm the same. I thought no more about it and this morning I received a bonus payment of £5.32.  A good surprise and very pleased.

Defence Against Speech Synthesis Attack

This researcher certainly likes to make things difficult. There was an information sheet and a consent form, both accessed not via the study but via links in the description and password protected. The password given for the information sheet was incorrect, so I couldn't read it. Then I saw in the next bit of the description that the study requires WhatsApp, which I don't use. By this time I'd already spent the 3 minutes trying to access the information sheet, so I gave it up as a bad job. Complete waste of time.

All they seem to be doing, from what I can work out from the description, is collecting recordings of people reading a passage of text given in the information sheet. Why they have to make it such an awkward process, I don't know.

I attempted this study too, olliebean.  The link did not work and the file did not upload.  I tried several times before contacting the Researcher.  There was no reply and, after waiting and opening the Study in a new window with still no success, I eventually gave up and Returned the Study.  So far I have not heard from the Researcher.

I'm afraid it was far too complicated, really awkward and not helped by links not working and the involvement of WhatsApp.

Crimson

Update: The Researcher sent me a link but I had already returned the study.  Since then, and up to the present time, the study is still showing as having places.

It is much too complicated, as well as low paying, and I doubt if the Researcher will have success in finding enough participants.

If anyone completes this study successfully, please let us know.

I got £3.35. Don't think I'm cut out to be a CEO!

I did that one as well and added a comment at the end about those two errors. One of the actual questions that I was stuck on looked like there may have been a similar error but of course it could have been that I was looking along the wrong lines.
