Just reported this one. I missed out on it but £1.86 an hour, and buying likes on facebook looks well dodgy to me.

I reserve the place then go back and read the information properly before deciding whether to carry on or not. There is the odd time when even if you have reserved a place it tells you it’s full but that’s quite rare.

Yes that's what I do too.

If you do this, then decide you don't want to do the survey, doesn't it get marked as "returned"? Is that then some sort of mark against you? I've been doing Prolific since January, and have always felt like it is some sort of negative marker when something is returned, though I'm not sure why. Is this not the case?
Thank you.

Ooooooooohhh, thank you very much Chrisv. I've always felt a bit of a failure if I have to return a study (whether it is my fault, or theirs, eg being invited to do a survey despite it not being aimed at my demographic....)
Thanks for that.

Did anyone have the study to look at 40 video clips and describe your emotions paid £3

Yes, I did and I thought the same as you and I read the nudity warning - IMO while the video you are talking about (and there were a couple, one more explicit than the other) did contain nudity and was technically within the warning, it came across as !!!!!! to me and I was very glad I wasn't viewing it on a work computer!

Hello

I have been messaged by a researcher from previous study I completed a few months ago, enquiring whether I'd like to do participate in some further studies. They are well paid and I am eligible. I have been asked to provide my contact details. Would these be Prolific details (email), or my personal email?

Many thanks
