    Designing a fictional public policy

    By Hualin Xiao

    Has anyone completed this Study in the expected 9 to 10 minutes?   I found it hard going and really almost gave up after 20 minutes.  I peresevered and completed the Study in 29 minutes. (£1.35 waiting for approval.)  I am usually quite slow but this Study really was, for me, quite a trial.

    I have an uncomfortable feeling that my submission may not be approved.

    Assuming we all had the same public policy, I found it straightforward. In fact, the revealing of the parameters sentence by sentence forced me to concentrate on each point. I completed it in 10-12 minutes.

    I'm on a roll with the AI ones again.  Couldn't do any today while I was working but two so far and hope to fit in another couple after tea

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I'm doing well too. They do seem to be available at varying times of day (and night!) which helps if you have other fixed commitments. I wonder how long it will last? Its hard to know if you're doing a good job, its very subjective how you go about it.

    Grinding to a halt now because the only ones showing are the compare two conversation ones, and they do my head in.

    Just investigated the MFA on Prolific, but it is only for phones, not for computers.  It starts with a QR code (impossible on a computer), and then asks you to enter a code in an app.  Even though I have one of the password managers it mentions already installed, it has no option to do this, as it is a program, not an app.  Clearly they think everybody ought to be using phones rather than real computers!
    I just use the Google authenticator to have the MFA on my laptop.
  • Has anyone had one of the ‘in study screening’ studies in the last couple of days? Hopefully it doesn’t become a regular thing on prolific. 

    What makes prolific so much better than the other survey sites is once you start the study, you can expect payment.

    You should still be paid something for the amount of time you spent on the study before being screened out.

    I had a message that a researcher would be inviting me to a study that involves me downloading a file connected to my social media account and that I should do this in advance of the study invite (because it can take hours before the file requested is ready to be downloaded). So I did this on Friday, taking a good few minutes as it was a complicated procedure to follow. The study was meant to arrive over the weekend, but it hasn’t arrived yet. I’ve messaged the researcher but no response as yet, even though they have managed to launch another study that I’ve completed. 

    Do I complain to prolific or let it go?
