A survey for UK residents from Dorset, Somerset or Wiltshire about retirement living communities.

We are looking to speak with people from Dorset, Somerset or Wiltshire about retirement living brands that provide services in your area. If you are aware of retirement living for your self or a family member we would like to speak with you. 

The below link directs you to a short screening survey, then you will be invited to take part in the main survey.

It has been pretty slow again this week and I got all exited when this appeared.  Sadly it is not aimed at me.

I assume 'retirement living' is different to a care home and is a community where people of a certain age live whilst they are circling the plug hole.

Might be something to consider for the future of course.

I got quite excited too, yupiteru, and clicked to start too soon.  When I realized I was not eligible I Returned the Study and apologized to the Researcher.   

A problem I have is that, if I don't click on an 'available' study straight away, the places are all taken and the Study is full  - but I was too quick off the mark this time.

I do not know why this survey keeps on and on appearing.  All our profiles have the question "What UK area do you currently live in?", so they have no excuse for offering the survey to people who do not live in their target area.  Moreover, I have marked the survey "Not interested" three times now.  It's rather like a bluebottle which persists no matter how often you swipe it away!

I don't live anywhere near the 3 counties but went through the screening page and was paid the £0.30 very quickly

Relationship with your workplace

In this study you will be asked to reflect on the relationship you have with your current place of employment.

This study was waiting when I logged on at 6.00 this morning and actually took me 13 mins as there are a few text boxes to type into at the end. 

Only a couple of sentences required in each though, but with my sausage fingers it is usually a pretty slow event.

The rest of the study is a tick box exercise answering questions that most will have seen many times before.

Opinions and Beliefs

In this study, you will be asked to answer several questions and provide demographic information. All your responses will be anonymous and confidential.

I was pretty busy this morning downloading another batch of podcasts in an attempt to avoid the constant coverage taking place at the moment that I personally find pretty mind numbing and holds no interest for me whatsoever.

 I have been doing this for a week and I have calculated I should have enough downloaded to my phone to enable me to stay in my own bubble wherever I go until Tuesday at least.

Whilst doing that, out of the corner of my eye I noticed the above study appear and my first thought was, ‘average and estimated completion time one minute’, yeah, yeah and my name is Deirdre.

But my scepticism was unfounded as the study consisted of just one question and a short demographic section and did indeed take me a minute to complete.

''Group Investment''-game; Only starting 8:30AM BST(now) until 8:40AM (with bonus!)

Note: The task has only been tested in the latest version of Google Chrome. It will NOT work properly on a phone or pad. Please do not accept the task unless your web browser will satisfy these requirements. If anything is off-screen try zooming out.

This task involves deciding how to allocate resources by clicking buttons in a simple game. In total, the task will take approximately 25-35 minutes. You will receive a base payment of £5 for your participation, but upon completion earn a bonus of an additional 0-6 pounds depending on decisions made in the task. 

This is a multi-player game. Because of this, the setup of this study expects you to start right after you accept it. If you wait longer than 10 minutes it may not be possible to join the game anymore and you cannot participate in the study. If you decide to do the task you will wait in a 'lobby' website until enough people logged on to play.

To complete the game we ask that you follow the link below in a new window. Set your browser to full screen, and do not navigate away from the page during the ~25-35 minutes needed to finish it (let us know if it takes a lot longer). If you do not respond for a long period of time, you will see a warning, and then the game will "time out." If this happens twice, you will be removed from the game and will not receive a secret code.

Before the actual task, there will be a very quick (~20s) technical test to make sure your setup is compatible with the study.

At the end of the task, you will receive a "secret code" to paste into the platform as completion code. This is needed to receive credit for participating, and to make sure we give you the appropriate bonus amount. This number is unique to you so please copy or screenshot it.

8.30 on a Sunday morning and I was just about to go on a short bike ride to test out my new action camera when this study appeared and I could not say no to a fiver.

I used a very old version of Chromium web browser which is the Linux version of Chrome and all went well.  If it worked OK on my ancient Dell Vostro 1500 with 2gb of RAM running Linux Mint 18.3, then it will most likely work on anything.

Study took around 25 mins to complete and was quite relaxing if a little tedious.

However, I only earned a 35p bonus payment and I hope you do better if you manage to catch this one.

This thing took well over the 30 mins advertised (nearly 50) and I only got 68p bonus. Unsure how you are meant to get anywhere near the £6 bonus to be honest.

25 mins! Lucky you! My version took nearly 50 mins - it seemed every loading screen took close to 1 minute to load. Though I did earn a whole 68p bonus. Im not sure anyone gets close to the £6!

50 mins, that's interesting.  Usually takes me longer than most with my old laptop.

Just been paid and got a £1 bonus not 35p for some reason, not complaining obviously.

it depends I guess, if there really were others in the same "group" as you then maybe they were just being very slow at answering.

To be fair to the researcher, they paid me the extra time as a bonus and very quick payment so - for those who havent done it, a definite go. But...get yourself a coffee
