Just a heads up to anyone who gets this study it requires a lot of writing and creative thinking and the estimated time was way off after 30 minutes I was tempted to return it.

I got that one too. Took me much longer than 30 minutes. Was really struggling to hit their word count.

COVID-19 and Mental Health Wellbeing - LC3

£6.50 • £9.32/hr

We are interested in how COVID-19 has had an impact on how we think and feel. 

In this study you will complete a series of questionnaires and some short cognitive tasks; some of which are testing how well you can remember information and others that look at how you feel in certain situations. It is better if you run these on a laptop rather than a mobile phone but they are all compatible. In total, this should take you less than 45 minutes. Please try to work through the questionnaire and tasks as quickly as possible and don't dwell on your answers, but if you do need to take a break, please do so in between the tasks/questionnaires.

Glad this study appeared as things have been pretty slow today.

Quite interesting and includes a number of cognitive tests, some of which I did not do very well score wise it must be said.

Took me 47 mins according to my stop watch, but I did have break about half way through as I felt I was going a bit fast.

Got paid pretty much immediately after completion as well.

Decision-making study: £1.90 for ~15 mins + BONUS of £0.00-£8.96

By bham.ac.uk

£1.90 • £6.58/hr

In this study, you will read several pages of instructions, make a decision, and fill out a survey. You will have the chance to earn a bonus payment of up to £8.96 depending on your decisions and the decisions of other participants. Paying attention is important and will increase your chances for a bonus payment. Bonuses will be paid at the latest 6-8 weeks after study completion, or sooner.

The instructions for this study were a bit long winded it must be said and there are multiple questions at the end of each page of instructions which you have to answer correctly before you can progress, you do get multiple chances to get the questions correct though, which I needed on one of the pages.

I was told at the end that I earned a bonus payment of £1.06, which is better than nothing.

Took me around 20 mins to complete I estimate, as I forgot to use the stopwatch.

You did very much better than me, yupiteru, although my bonus ( to be paid in 6-8 weeks of completing the study) is £1.40.  I really struggled to get to grips with the instructions but was pleased to persevere to completion without being timed out.  In total it took me 43 minutes - so much slower than the suggested 15 minutes and more than double the time it took you, yupiteru.

It took me around 15 minutes in total, but my bonus was not as high.

I'm generally quite slow, MollyR, but, on a few occasions, I have been really very slow.   15 minutes in total is brilliant.

Well, I do tend to skim-read lengthy instructions;  I then read the attention-check questions and scroll back up to ensure I have the right answer to each one.  Of course, if the questions are presented on a separate page, I have to copy and paste the instructions into Notepad so that I can refer to them separately!

Me too, although I use my phone to take pictures of the screen so I can refer back if needed. 
I feel quite lucky regarding the decision making study, I did it yesterday teatime - my bonus was £2.56.

I've not had one study today - actually I havn't even seen any appear.  Normally I see a few with one place and either never get it or it's a gorilla platform one and I have to return it.  But today it's been like a desert out there - nothing even on the horizon except the familiar message telling me to take a break and get a cup of tea!!!!!

When I see such lengthy instructions I usually go straight to the questions first and search for the answers and then I copy the instructions into a Word type document for future reference, so as to speed things up a bit.

Must admit I was glad to see a study at all as it has been very slow this week, but many others are saying the same, so it is obviously just a general lull partly due to the time of year I assume?

It's  been a slow week for me too  with mostly just one place left and study already full.
