Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Has anyone ever had a reply from LRL Humans?  I did one this morning and closed after the usual hour, then got paid more than I was expecting instantly and realised that it must have been for 1.5 hours and I just hadn't noticed as I am so used to them being an hour.  I have messaged them to explain (and offer to pay back the difference), but I don't know how long to wait to get a response before I withdraw.

I’ve messaged them with feedback a few times and never had a reply. I’d just wait and see what happens.
I did have one which didn’t pay immediately on closure – I think I may have shut the page down too soon although I did end it with the stop button – I think it took a couple of weeks for the payment to come through. and I never got a reply to my message. 

I wouldn’t withdraw. I’d leave it and wait for them to decide. 

All the ones that have popped up for me have been an hour or a half an hour. None have been longer than that.

Yeah - I'll leave it for a couple of weeks at least.  Now I've checked in submissions and apparently the intended submission time was 95 minutes which I totally didn't notice when I joined - I wonder if the average submission time was more like an hour at that point as that does throw me sometimes.

Oh well, totally my fault but I've done what I can to remedy.

Am I the only one to never have been offered an AI study? Feeling left out!

Cordie

No I've never been offered one either.

People who haven’t had any AI studies might want to skip this post.


Those of us that have, as I’ve earned several  pounds from them over the last few weeks, do you think the algorithm will now stop us from getting any other studies for quite a long time?
Forseeing a long period of tumbleweed kicking in.

@elsien I hope not!  If anything, I get the impression it's ramping up a bit and they are trying to make it a bit more professional with direct emails to the participant group and I just got an email about the support hub area for training and contact.

I have noticed that I am not getting as many other surveys now, but not that many less than when it became really hard to get on any studies, so I'm not sure if it's actually affected the algorithm or not.  I've been quite busy with these and another project that has just ended on another platform, so not really keeping much of an eye.

What I am really hoping is that they will divide the partipant group up according to skillset - so I won't have to blunder my way through the physics, maths and coding based ones, and be left to the nice history, legal and general knowledge ones which are much more in my comfort zone!

You may wish to avoid this one. It asks you to write in detail about the worst day of your life. I returned it.

This study is made up of two unrelated parts. 

Study 1 is a writing task. We will ask you to recall a particular situation you might have experienced and describe it. Please, spend enough time writing the paragraph, it is important that you give as much detail as possible about the situation. You will be asked some questions about it at the end of the survey. In this study, we are interested in how consumers recall their experiences.

Study 2 is an unrelated study and will revolve around the evaluation of brands and products. 

It is important to finish the survey within 8 minutes (it will take on average 5 minutes to complete) to have reliable results. Longer completion times will be considered for withdrawal.

Regardless of the subject I hate those asking you to write about something "in as much detail as possible." Talk about an unreasonable demand! Especially when they're emphasising the importance of finishing within 8 minutes.

Especially for 50p or whatever!
