    Everyone got the study from the Prolific Team where you chat with an AI about politics? I am very into politics so this was actually enjoyable for me. I don't get to argue politics as much as I'd like.

    I've just come back to Prolific after several months away from it, and I got this one - it was really good and an interesting chat. Will log on a bit more again, these things can be fun and rewarding
  • I didn't get this one - shame as I would have enjoyed it!

    Did anyone compete,

    The parking task - 102


    I have been rejected with the following rationale,

    • Didn't answer essential questions
    • Gave no study data
    I have challenged this as I completed all the parking tasks and even remember my average score along with answering all the questions .


  • I am coming to end of a really big paying one that I was lucky to get onto.

    crest training sessions: first study £8.50, 8 x £6.75 now I am waiting for the final one think will be another £8.50 then a bonus. But originally was meant to be 12 x £6.75 but they reduced it unless they have changed it.

    I've just discovered that my laptop has the required resolution for a couple of the AI image ones I had returned because the resolution on the larger screen on my desktop wasn't high enough. Fingers crossed I will be offered more now I've sussed what settings I need to change to get them to work.

    About how long is it taking prolific to get back with a reply about rejected studies? I reported the one I mentioned earlier, saying that the researcher has not responded to my question about what attention check I failed, and also that as the study was 5 minutes I should not have been ruled out on that basis. So far it's fallen into a black hole of nothingness.
