Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Was wondering this myself this is the first rejection I've ever had so I was a little annoyed I did contact prolific to complain as I think 20p is a joke for 30 wasted minutes but I've not had a reply yet.

Anyone tried to do the Workplace Cognitions for Christopher Jackson study just now? Taking 2 hrs and paying £10. Spent an hour on it and then got to a page saying 'You are not authorised to use.......(some gizmo or other). Couldn't get any further....very annoying!!!:mad:

A quick update on this as I notice the researcher keeps adding places after reading a long list of instruction and waiting 20 minutes to be paired your then told sorry for the inconvenience and given a code.
The researcher then rejects your submission and pays a 20p bonus.

The being paired thing is usually a hoax and you get paired with the computer. If you really are being paired then how do they plan to do that with 15 participants - surely they need an even number to do pairs. I would complain to the researcher about that. Can you see from the survey how long the average completion is? If it's 20 minutes they should be paying accordingly.

It was suppose to pair you with 2 other people so it was meant to be a group of 3

I did contact the researcher and told him 30 minutes of my time was worth more than the 20p paid
Still also waiting on a reply from prolific

Thats a little harsh, the vast majority of researchers I have contacted are fine.

I have just seen my account is "on hold" - !!!!!!. Shirty email sent to them. Bizarre that after 2 years on the site that they're doing this. Properly cross....

Hi Mike
can I ask what happened with this as my account is now on hold - not sure what I have done as I am getting hardly any studies these days.

I mailed them, messaged them on Facebook - basically ranted at them. It was unblocked after a couple of hours.

I was most miffed.
