You are invited to participate in a study about online women’s magazines conducted by The Ohio State University. We are looking for FEMALE participants in the 30-45 yrs age range who live in the U.S.

To show our great appreciation of your participation, you will receive $20 upon completion. The payment will be sent through the PayPal online payments system (www.paypal.com), which allows you to purchase things online, withdraw money by check, or send money to your regular bank account. Alternatively, you can receive an Amazon giftcard (www.amazon.com) .

The study is about how you respond to women’s online magazines. Participation consists of two sessions (approx. 10 and 15 min) that are to be completed ONLINE.

The first session collects general information about participants, their attitudes and their life circumstances. The second session presents an online magazine to find out how you respond to it as well as to issues that many women find interesting. As women's magazines pertain to women's personal life situations, many questions will relate to personal views. However, all responses can be provided in standardized format and will remain entirely anonymous.

Some techical requirements apply (plug-in Microsoft Silverlight needed, can be downloaded before taking the study).

Please click on the link to start! http://abc.kw-research.org/arconsentfull.aspx

Your participation is GREATLY appreciated!
Please email Dr. Knobloch-Westerwick at knobloch-westerwick.1@osu.edu for any questions.

You have now completed the study. We will send you the participation compensation per PayPal or Amazon, based on your choice when you created your site login. If you'd like, you can write down confirmation number ***********. If you don't receive the compensation from us within the next 10 business days, please contact Greg Hoplamazian at hoplamazian.1@osu.edu

Thank you very much for your participation!

I asked for paypal too.

motherofall6
06-03-2009, 06:33 PM
this is what i got...

You have just been sent a payment by eCheck. You will receive the money in about 3-5 business days (estimated: 6/9/2009-6/11/2009). We recommend that you wait until the money arrives before shipping items. We'll email you when this eCheck payment has been deposited into your account.

so im almost paid but no money is in paypal yet

emmabell29
06-03-2009, 06:35 PM
Yeah mine was an e-check too but it got canceled. :(

06-03-2009, 06:36 PM

I don't know Mishty but I doubt it if you haven't heard anything yet. I actually got 3 separate emails. One was to notify me of a pending e-check, one notifying me of a canceled e-check, and one asking me to confirm my name and gender.

Oy, just got an email from her. She said there were many fraudulent attempts and the name on my email is my husbands initials which sounds like a boy's name. She is supposed to resend the payment. I offered to call her to confirm that I'm indeed female. Doesn't anyone share emails anymore? Or just have a non female sounding name? Geez.

yes i too share my husbands email,infact i only check his emails daily so i did this survey from his email,i have not recieved any thing either

Just emailed to ask why I never received the 2nd survey and got this:

Thank you for your message.

If you have not received a payment notification even though you have completed session 2, this is most likely due to one of the following issues:

Repeated access to the survey application
Access from outside of the US
Different user accounts associated with the same name, email address, or computer
Data reflect survey was not completed in compliance with instructions/recruitment criteria

If you’d like, we can place a specific inquiry with our tech support. In this case, please email us your full name, email address, user name and password. If possible, the dates you took the study parts, as well as the browser you used (e.g., Internet explorer) would be helpful as well.


She didn't even answer my question. I didn't even ask about payments!

I received that same email when I emailed her to ask her why I had not received the second survey. Been waiting on it for the past week. Today its been a week exactly and still nothing. My brother and sister in law are staying with us, and she also went and tried for this survey and has not received the second one either - so I emailed her explaining the situation - offered to send in a faxed copy of our licenses so I can prove that we are indeed two different people - and havent heard anything yet.

At the beginning of both parts of the survey there was a login page where you had to create login information. Let's hope I did that right :shake:

These emails that everyone is getting....are they from the same email address as the second survey invitation?

emmabell29
06-03-2009, 07:40 PM
Yes all of mine are coming from the same email

I'm really frustrated right now because I'm worried I'm just going to get the brush off even though she said she'd send the payment. I followed all the rules and I'm fully qualified for the study and here I sit while they seem to be making excuses for not paying out.

Hello,

Unfortunately we had to put a hold on inviting people to the second study to ensure that everyone who completes the second study receives the $20 incentive. Once we can be sure that we have enough funds to pay more participants, we will send out more invitations for people to complete the second session. Thank you for your interest and understanding.

emmabell29
06-04-2009, 09:36 AM
I spent more time trying to get my $20 than I actually spent taking the surveys! :P

First, the emails back and forth to confirm that yes, I am female even though I share an email with my husband. Then even though my email was on my paypal, it wasn't the one I signed up to paypal with so it needed to be confirmed. For some reason paypal wouldn't send the confirmation email.

So I called paypal and spent 30 minutes on the phone with them changing preferences and crap and still no email. Ask them, can't they just add it? No. Get put on hold 3 times and then HUNG up on.

So screw it, I sign up for a new paypal account under this email to get payment (after all this I'm getting my damn payment! LOL) and it's not in there. 0 transactions.
Make another call to paypal and while I'm on hold, Wa La....it's showing my payment.

Then I have to add my bank account because after all that I'm not paying $1.50 to have the check sent out. Now I'm waiting to confirm the bank account and the e-check to clear.

Lesson learned, make sure your email you are using for a survey is on your paypal account and make sure you have a girly sounding email name !! :D

emmabell29
06-04-2009, 09:49 AM
Mishty, maybe try to call her. If you click on the bio link in the email, it takes you to her staff web page and has her phone number.

If she asked for your details that is a good sign. That is what happened with me, they are likely backed up with emails since everyone started emailing last night. I think you'll likely get your payment Mon or Tues like some other people were told.

You people cannot get mad when you always don't get paid for surveys. I'm sure they didn't expect their study to be posted here for thousands of people to take. They are probably a little overwhelmed and you should just be understanding and patient. Sometimes these things work out, sometimes they don't.

Well let me ask you this..did you get into the study or did you get paid?

. Has anyone dealt with Greg, her partner in the studies or is Sylvia the only one writing back?
Slyvia is the only one I've been in contact with via email but I believe Greg is the one that is actually sending out the payments. (at least the paypal ones) When she had confirmed my identity, she sent me an email with a CC to Greg that said to send my payment.

They are probably a little overwhelmed and you should just be understanding and patient. Sometimes these things work out, sometimes they don't.

While I do feel sympathetic that they are getting swamped,I really think it's their responsibility to make sure to close the survey after the desired number or responses and/or have software that can filter out multiple fraudulent attempts. I'm pretty sure they had a good idea after the first survey, just how many people had taken it since they had to send out the second one. Any questions about the validity of the survey takers and the number of survey takers should have been dealt with before sending out the second one.

I do agree to give them some time. Already several people have heard back that they will be sending out more payments Monday and Tuesday.

"You people" ?????

The study was only open to a limited amount of people. Once they reached that quota, they closed the survey....so "thousands of people" could not have participated in it.

And we're supposed to be understanding when we take the survey, follow all their rules/procedures and do everything asked of us... only to turn around and be accused of fraud and them refusing to pay... but yet still use our results even after we tell then we are fully able and willing to provide proof of what they are accusing us of being fraudulent about? I dont think so.

Nice try, would you like to take a crack at it again? :rolleyes:

Dear Participant

Thank you so much for taking the first part of our study about women’s online magazines.

Your help is invaluable for our project!



When you take the second session, please remember to complete it in ONE go and do not access the session again.
When asked to browse an online magazine, keep browsing until the procedure uploads a questionnaire. Thank you!



Please access ....link..... to complete the final session NOW
(Do NOT use the link included in the prior email message!)

Deadline for completion is June 5th.

Again, your help is highly appreciated indeed!

Sincerely,

Dr. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick (principal investigator) and Greg Hoplamazian (study coordinator), Hoplamazian.1@osu.edu

well, I DID just get paid, but I would like to say that I am sure there were SOME people that were LESS than honest about completing it. We all know those folks who are "in for 200" I hate that there are some SDers like that, but I do not think we can assume everyone was honest, just like we cannot assume everyone was dishonest.

I think that balletrina was trying to say that we should all be a little patient with them before we assume that they will not pay anyone.

Geez take it easy.

And for those who asked...no I have not been paid yet. But I'm being patient because I know I was honest with my answers and did not commit any fraud so I'm sure my payment will be coming.

Again, thank you for your inquiry.



Please let me preface with by saying that I don’t have any personal interests in who’s getting paid or not. I am, however, supposed to use university funds responsibly and also try to be fair toward participants who comply with all rules while a few (often unintentionally) don’t.



After considering the information below, should you feel treated unfairly, I suggest to contact the Office of Responsible Research Practices at The Ohio State University at http://orrp.osu.edu/irb/contact/.



For the xxxxxxx user account, the inquiry yielded the following issue. Several user accounts were created on the same computer. Further technical details could be provided to the Office of Responsible Research Practices, in case you would like them to examine this further.


They are so full of freakin crap!!! I completed the survey ONCE and no one in my household completed it or even tried to complete it. They are so full of it and giving excuses so they don't have to pay people because they messed up!

I wrote to Greg regarding my paypal acct. since the emails are different to make sure the the payment would go thru. I received a pleasant response within a 1/2 hr. from Greg. In the mean time, I figured out how to add my "surveys" email to my paypal account (duh!). Hopefully I will see a payment soon.

Not here to cause any problem.....as usual These fights come up and I hate to see it...most of the folks here are fine with each other until tiny stuff flares into conflicts that do not mean anything ...If there is a bit more patience for the most part it almost always resolves itself
We are a family here ...if someone is missing a payment or a member gets paid and others are waiting many posts are slinging words that are really not meant...If one gets paid CONGRATS...if one doesn't please take it up with the study coordinators. It is not any person on this board that is in between the payment and the study contractor.
Good luck to all with this...BTW nope I haven't been paid yet.... but I can wait... no problem. and if I never get paid ...25 mins of my life are not worth my SD family to me
