    Video Call Experiment on Monday (University of Oxford)

    Hosted by Roberto Rozzi

    I'm afraid I am not having a good 'run' of it with Prolific just now.  I have to accept responsibiity for messing up my appointment for the above Study and will be glad if anyone can help, please.  I booked a one minute Zoom slot for this Monday and now I realize that I won't  be at home with my laptop, camera and audio etc.

    Does anyone know how I can access the calendar again to cancel and reschedule the time of my Zoom appointment?  I am anxious not to let the Researcher down. 

    I think I need to abandon Prolific Studies for a bit because  I'm not doing at all well - scared to count the number of Returned Studies - although not all my fault.   I have contacted the Researcher but, so far, have not received a reply.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.



    I have zoom on my mobile, is that an option for you?

    I must admit I am curious as to what such a short zoom meeting could entail.
    One simple question. They were running late, my zoom meeting started 8 minutes late, so advise allowing extra time.

    Mine was on time but I was asked to enter Prolific ID on the call chat and did not have time to enter it. I was removed from the call before I had a chance to do it!

    Mine was early. They did check that I'd got the link before the call was ended, but you should still have access to the chat - the link was typed into there?

    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.

    VIDEO CALL EXPERIMENT - WEDNESDAY.

    I managed to book a Zoom slot for this Video Call Experiment on Wednesday  - this was after receiving a new notification  this evening.

    I hope I don't sound too stupid but, on the confirmation email which arrived within seconds of booking the Zoom slot,  do I just wait until a few minutes before my time slot on Wednesday and click on the Location https link given, or is there another email link likely to arrive on Wednesday?

    I see there is a turquoise banner ? link to a calendar on the confirmation email but, so far, I have not clicked on it.  I have already selected the appointment and, thankfully, this time received the confirmation email.

    If there is anything else I need to do ahead of the appointment I'll be grateful for any information, thank you.

    I just clicked the link and it opened the zoom app on my laptop and put me straight into the waiting room for the meeting. The researcher started the meeting, I had to turn my video on as it defaults to video off. 
    At the end they sent the completion code and put it in chat. 
    My session was this morning and I have been paid this afternoon.

    That is really helpful, thank you silvercar.  Where was the completion code sent via Prolific, to your own email address or is there a separate chat 'place' on Zoom?

    I used my own 'spare' email address - not my prolific email.

    Logged on 7.00 o clock this morning which is a little bit later than usual.

    Not a bad strategy though as I had five studies in a row one after the other.  From my experience of daily numbers completed that will most likely be it for the day.

    Also my vital statistics are:

    Joined prolific October 2018
    Total submissions: 1,675
    Approved: 1,425
    Awaiting review:12
    Rejected: 3
    Timed out:2

    So far this month alone I have returned 10 studies.

    I return loads every month for various reasons.

    Glad to hear your overall  good success, you have earned it, yupiteru.

    I'm scared to count the number of my Returns!

    It appeared on the screen during the Zoom and also in the zoom chat. Nothing on email.

    Makes choices about uncertain outcomes 2

    By HF Experiments

    Heads up to anyone who sees this study, it involves a LOT of unavoidable maths problems. This isn't explicitly stated until you start the study, and without giving too much away, you need to be pretty good at mental arithmetic else be prepared to spend a LOT of time with a calculator.

    The pay was fine (although the reward offered on Prolific did not match the compensation offered within the study itself) but it is hard work for a study.

    ETA : With a bonus, the pay was exceptionally good and commensurate with the difficulty and effort required to complete.
