[Air-L] Establishing rationale for rejecting completed MTurk tasks

[Charlie Balch]

Hi Cory,
You should be able to get a copy of my "Internet Survey Methodology" book
through interlibrary loan.

In short, you seem to be talking about pattern responses. There are a
variety of ways to test for and to discourage pattern responses.

Subject: [Air-L] Establishing rationale for rejecting completed MTurk tasks

Can anyone point in the right direction for literature establishing some
sound guidelines for rejecting poor quality completions from MTurk workers?

For example, my survey had an average completion time of 9:30, but I have
respondents “complete” the survey in less than a minute. I would think it
would be appropriate to reject these workers responses? Additionally, I have
responses that I have reviewed where a worker selected the middle answer for
all survey questions. I would assume that’s valid to reject this completion
as well.

Many thanks in advance,

Cory
