Declarations
:
: The authors declared no conflicts of interest
: The study was submitted as low risk and approved as such by the first author’s university (Ethics Notification Number: 4000019423).
: The following statements were provided to participants at the outset of the study. Continuing with the survey after reading these statements was interpreted as the tacit provision of informed consent.<i>I’ve already used MTurk a few times to collect data but want to learn a little more about what it's like to be a Turker so I can improve the design of my surveys. I’ve split the questions into three sections—I’m expecting each section will take about a minute to work through. I'll ask a few closed-ended questions and 2 open-ended ones (you only need to write a sentence for each unless there's something you want to get off your chest!). In the first section I’ll ask a few questions about your use of MTurk. In the second section, I’ll ask for your demographic information. In the third section, I ask you to respond to a few short items that I hope will help me think about how best to design a study I hope to do in the future.</i><i>If you’d like to contact me about any aspect of this project, you can email me at _________, or call me at ___________, extension _______. For the first time, I'm running this study through the TurkPrime service, so if this causes you trouble, please let me know.</i><i>If you have any concerns about the conduct of this research, please contact either myself or the Director of Research Ethics at my institution by emailing _________________.</i>
