The use of Mturk by behavioral researchers continues to increase. Despite the evidence on the benefits (and drawbacks) of MTurk, many researchers, reviewers, and editors intuitively distrust the reliability and validity of online labor markets.
On October 25 , we will host a workshop at ACR called “Questioning the Turk: Conducting High Quality Research with Amazon Mechanical Turk”. We will answer and debate questions from the ACR community regarding MTurk, and raise some new questions. We will discuss the current issues that arise from MTurk’s use, as well as some of the solutions and replications. Questions can be submitted using the hashtag #mturkacr via Twitter (@aconsres, @joekgoodman, @gpaolacci) or Facebook (ACR page), as a comment to this post, or via email the organizers Joseph Goodman and Gabriele Paolacci.
Te North American ACR conference will take place on October 24-26 at the Hilton Baltimore in Baltimore, MD. The MTurk workshop will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2pm in the room Key 5.
Update: Thanks to all participants for contributing to a fruitful discussion! The slides we used in the workshop can be found here. Joe & Gabriele.
Hi,
How to assign qualification to more than one workers at one time. Because it takes a lot of times to do it one by one.
Thanks!
