Just had a feedback study for the AI project - that felt quite cathartic!

Hi everyone!

Sorry to intrude- I'm new to prolific and just wanted some advice.

Has anyone completed external video interviews from prolific? I completed a pre screening and have been invited onto a video call next Wednesday via Google meet. They have said this will be rewarded with a £30 voucher. I just wondered if this is normal for prolific before I go ahead with it!

I hope this makes sense!

Yes, I've seen a couple of them offered in the past.

And I have completed a couple of them, and always been paid.

A Study about Solving Puzzles

By Shumin Zheng

Anyone else just do this one - I've just spent nearly 50 minutes doing it.  It was actually quite enjoyable, but after it finished, there was a message asking to return it due to a failed attention check.  There were two attention checks asking you to select 'disagree' or 'somewhat disagree', which I'm pretty certain I selected correctly but nothing else.  I just wondered if everyone got the same message and it's a mistake.  I've messaged them back, but no reply as yet.

I saw three attention checks in it. The puzzles were difficult!

I saw on Reddit that some people did the feedback but then found out they got kicked off the project. I did the feedback study and there was no message about me being removed but I haven't had a study since then. It's only been three days though.

They’ve been quiet anyway for the last few days. I’ve not had the feedback study, but I have sent some comments directly  to the researchers once or twice pointing out errors. 

Just had a couple more pop-up today

@snowwhyte I saw that on reddit as well! I panicked a bit that I'd missed something fairly major in the feedback survey, but it looked like it was very obvious if you'd been kicked out.  

I had a tonne of them on Friday, but nothing since then.  One of the bits of feedback I gave was it would be much nicer to get a steady workflow!

I wondered if I'd just missed seeing a comment that told me I'd been kicked off the project. It's always tricky with these things because they're not always clear about what they want from you and they don't give much feedback. I've done other online work where you're going along, you think you're doing ok and then suddenly you're off the project with no notice.

Got a small bonus for the AI feedback study. Still no sign of any of the AI studies this month though. It's not a good sign.
