Mental Wellbeing and Financial Health: Linked Data Study

By york.ac.uk

£10.00 • £131.39/hr

4 mins

915 places

The aim of this project is to develop our understanding of how an individual's financial health relates to their wellbeing.

This project involves collecting two forms of data: Information on your spending habits, and information on your mental health and overall wellbeing.

Details of your spending are collected via the Truelayer Open Banking API: In the first question of this survey, you authorise your bank to share details about your recent spending with our research team.

This data will never be attributable to you, and will be stored securely and in an anonymous format. We will not collect your name, or seek to identify you in any way. After this, we ask a short (~5 minute) series of questions about your wellbeing.

Devices you can use to take this study:

• Desktop

This study has just come on. What are your thoughts on Truelayer Open Banking API and security. I did some research and it looks like it should be safe, but I'm still undecided about proceeding. 

Truelayer is also used by YouGov Finance.

I have had two today, both full despite admitting me.  Bristol Uni and Emily Sweigart.  This is becoming something of a theme.  The first researcher from Bristol advised me he/she had it elsewhere and it was full before it started on Prolific.

Hmm. I wasn't comfortable with giving my bank account number, sort code and access to my transactions to a stranger so gave this one a miss.

I've had about 5 like that so far today. Been getting a few lately.  TBH, I'm hardly getting anything good lately.

Had a study where it said waiting for other participant for 10 mins, it was a 8 minn study.  I put in a no code for my 10 mins of wasted time am I allowed to do this or do I have to cancel it and send it back

If you google Truelayer API you will see that you may already be using it for banking like Revolut, Monzo etc.

You don't need to share anything you don't want to. I opted to share my banking transactions but nothing more.  No card names/details. 

And it was immediately cancelled by logging into the bank and stopping the authority. 






They paid nice and quick and x 2 for this house.

A survey on gift giving experience

By zuel.edu.cn

£0.35 • £3.54/hr

5 mins

250 places

In this survey, we are interested in how people feel and behave in the gift giving.

Just wondering if anyone did this study, and can remember what attention checks were included? I've had my submission rejected for failing an attention check, something that has only happened once before in nearly 2000 submissions and on that previous occasion the researcher recanted immediately when I challenged it. I've messaged the researcher on this current occasion, asking specifically what check(s) I failed, but it looks like they may not reply.

Given that several people are all saying they were rejected, is there something fishy going on? I'd try reporting to Prolific, for one thing that £3.54 is well below rate.

I've told them that I will report it unless they undo the rejection.

I've reported it. Not worried about the 35p but don't think they've handled the study correctly - and our submissions shouldn't have been rejected - especially not for "Failed Attention Checks".

I've also had this study rejected this morning. My first rejection in 3 years. I just got rejected for 'other'. I asked what this was but have had no response.

[Deleted User]

I have the same experience - Rejected "Other" with no explanation.  I have had no response at all from the Researcher and I have reported the Study to Prolific.

Because it is only 35 pence I was not going to bother.  Having read that so many others have been affected I decided to contact the Researcher (no reply) and I reported the Study to Prolific.

It doesn't seem right that this Researcher is Rejecting so many of our submissions and not communicating.  

Is Prolific likely to act in any way on our 'Reports' about this Study?

olliebean

Right, I'm reporting it, as clearly they are just trying to avoid payment, and the more reports Prolific gets the more likely they are to take notice. I don't even care if I don't get paid, as I was only asked one question. I just want to get the rejection removed.

I'm interested to know, did everyone who got rejected get the screen-out with completion code after the first question, or are they also rejecting people who completed the study? Also, did anyone complete it and actually get paid?
