The Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) service is a crowdsourcing website that you can use to recruit experiment subjects.
Getting started
To get started with MTurk, visit the website and choose 'Sign in as a Requester'. Sign in with your Amazon account, or create one if necessary.
Paying subjects
In order to pay subjects you need to load money into your MTurk account. To do this:
- Visit your 'My account' page on MTurk.
- Purchase prepaid HITs in the amount you require. These will increase the available balance for paying subjects.
If you have research funds you can ask Belen to purchase prepaid HITs for you. At the present time (Fall 2020) this is awkward to do remotely but can be accomplished with these steps:
- Sign in to your MTurk account and open the 'My account' page.
- Initiate a Zoom meeting with Belen.
- Give screen control to Belen to allow her access to your 'My account' page.
- Belen will add a credit card payment method, add funds, and delete the card.
