yea I know, I get most of them done in less than 10 minutes usually. It adds up quickly too when you save in Amazon money. I have bought so many things, it really helps in this tough economy. Its like I can buy the things I need and want without spending my actual money to do so.

OK, here's a survey of mine!

Which lottery would you prefer -
a) 1/25 chance of winning $25.00
or
b) 1/10 chance of winning $10.00

I choose "b" (especially since I have never won an "a"!).
Well, OK, I've never won a "b" either, but those are usually shorter, so losing isn't as painful! ;)

I noticed that one of my favorite researchers started doing more of the "b" types. Smart person. :thumbup: I always sign up!

It goes without saying that we all sign up for the $5 non-lottery studies, eh?

[Really, this would be an interesting subject for a study! Just sayin']

And that is why your "favorite researcher" will never do a guaranteed pay study.

Don't do the drawings. My thoughts aren't free. Force them to have guaranteed pay. If they can't get enough responses by paying only 1/10 people, they're going to have to pay everyone sooner or later.

You're wrong on that count. MFR does both.
The question was not "lottery vs paid" (that's obvious), it was which lottery would you prefer.
Anyone who has been here for a while knows that there used to be oodles of paid studies.
Now they are few and far between.
Seems to be working for the researchers. Check the number of posts from people wanting to get in, and unable to do so.
I appreciate any opportunities they give us (and the choices we can make regarding those opportunities).

Agreed. I stopped doing the lottery studies years ago. If everyone did the same, they'd have to start paying for each study.

NEW STUDY

Regifting
We are interested in people's perceptions of gifts. PAY: $5 gift certificate.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I get an email this evening telling me that 4 paid studies are available (exciting, huh?)

The following studies have timeslots available:
Regifting: $5 amazon.com gift card for 8 minutes
Survey Studies 2: $5 amazon.com gift card for 2 studies, 25 minutes total
Teamwork Across Media: $5 amazon.com gift card for 30 minutes
Time, money and happiness: $15 amazon.com gift card for 50 minutes
If a study does not appear, it is for one of two reasons:
1. You are not qualified for that particular study
2. The timeslots have already been filled.

But when I go to the website (within 10 minutes), none of them are listed - just one lottery one.

Anyone heard back from them yet after registering?

Had several surveys listed now, a new $5 amazon one for me ...others had prior restrictions but some of you that just signed up might can get in them all.

I'm asking again if anyone has heard from them after signing up? I signed up at the end of Nov and still haven't heard anything.

I'm asking again if anyone has heard from them after signing up? I signed up at the end of Nov and still haven't heard anything.

I never heard anything after signing up.

Don't do the new lottery study that says "lottery plus opportunity to win up to $2 Amazon." The description is misleading; you are only able to get $2 extra IF you win the lottery.

I never heard anything after signing up.

You dont wait for them to send anything. You log in and check under "studies" for online surveys/studies you can partake in.

You dont wait for them to send anything. You log in and check under "studies" for online surveys/studies you can partake in.

That only works if they've created an account for you after signing up. Which is the problem a lot of us who have tried to register as members are having.

I've tried to sign in or retreive my password and get this message which I take it to mean for some reason they haven't accepted anyone who signed up or if they did nobody has spoken up here about it. I tried signing up a second time at around 2 am at the beginning of last week and still nothing. I thought if I tried at a time like that I'd have to be one of the first 100 trying for the day.

Here's the message I mentioned above....

System Message: Password could not be sent. No user was found matching the specified user ID or email address.

Ah that is true. My mistake.
Perhaps like others they wanna recruit with the new year?

I seem to win quite a few of these lotteries for the college surveys. The college lotteries are the only lottery/sweeps I do for free (unless it might be a PT or prescreener for something good) They must have a maximum number of participants which keep the odds at a reasonable level.

congrats on the win!! :)

I agree with your approach on the university studies - they are thought provoking and actually have a purpose in life as opposed to some of the nonsense we suffer through for a shot at thousands of dollars on a quarterly sweepstakes that nobody ever wins.

Umm did anyone get an email just now from them regarding them deactivating accounts next week

I'm guessing everyone else got an email from Stanford about them possibly deactivating a bunch of accounts?

Umm did anyone get an email just now from them regarding them deactivating accounts next week

Got the email also. I have done a lot of their studies. Won't be surprised (but will be disappointed) if I get deactivated. Guess we have to wait out the next week or so and see what happens. Bummer as I have won (and just won) some nice amazon from them.

Dear participant in the Stanford Graduate School of Businessstudy pool, This email is to let you know that we will be tightening therequirements for our participants to remain activeparticipants in our pool. We are tightening the requirementsbecause we want to be sure that the results we get in ourstudies are robust and generalizable to an averagepopulation of people. The problem is that participants thathave taken very many of these studies become so familiarwith these kinds of studies over time that they oftenunintentionally answer differently than they otherwise wouldif they had never taken a study. This can throw off ourresults, even invalidate them, causing us to have to rethinkand rerun the study in a new way. And it doesn't help you tolegitimately contribute to science. This is bad for us, andbad for you. Therefore, we will be deactivating participants that havetaken an excessive number of studies, to be determined. Thiswill take effect within the next week. Often, we find participants signing up for a study in thesystem and eventually not completing it - this is roughly10% of all participants that sign up. In the future, wesuggest that when you sign up for a study that you actuallycomplete the study, because our system marks when you havesigned up for a study, not if you have completed it or not.Our new policy should give you incentive to actually takethe studies that you sign up for. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please donot email us asking to request your account to bereactivated as we will be unable to accommodate you. We aredoing this in the interest of psychological science. We are grateful for your participation in our pool, and yourunderstanding. Sincerely,The Stanford GSB Behavioral Lab

Why are they deactivating?

Probably trying to get rid of the Sd-ers!

Why would they send regular emails out notifying people of survey openings and then all of a sudden want to de-activate those who take those many surveys?

must want a fresh perspective :confused:

I just checked my email. It was sent 9:06PM PST. I guess we'll find out soon enough who's account is deactivated. I just signed up with them and have only taken 2 studies so I feel safe. I agree that the email makes clear that they want new opinions and they have the right to do so. Good luck.

Why are they deactivating?

The problem is that participants that have taken very many of these studies become so familiar with these kinds of studies over time that they often unintentionally answer differently than they otherwise would if they had never taken a study. This can throw off our results, even invalidate them, causing us to have to rethink and rerun the study in a new way.

I can respect their reasoning behind this. :( We'll see what happens next week.

Oh well I got the email too,,,, at least I started Emsense and that has a lot of paying surveys. If I am deactivated I will miss Stanford SOOOOO much

Got the email, too. Since I have been doing them for a long time, I imagine I will get the cut. I tried not to take many that were not for pay, maybe that will help out in the long run. But, no matter what I have enjoyed this company. The surveys are quick and they always pay.

On another note, for those doing the Christmas regifting follow up survey, the link came last night. Mine closed out after one question, hope there was not more to it.

sucks for you guys but maybe that means i'll get in now

Why would they send regular emails out notifying people of survey openings and then all of a sudden want to de-activate those who take those many surveys?

Exactly. They practically beg us to take surveys now its suddenly a problem? They could easily just send accoridng to our profiles or tell us which one we could do.

There was only one question for me as well. I'm wondering why it doesn't show up on "My Study and Credits" page. :rolleyes:

Oh well. They need fresh eyes. Just like Communispace, it dosen't last forever, they need new ideas and fresh perspectives and not professional survey takers (like some of us lol)

here's to hoping a lot of us stay in, I know I count on the amazon. Hopefully we won't so much be deactivated as more "thanked for our valuable input and now they are moving on to a new pool of participants." That would hurt less.

Just curious ... how many points does everyone have?

I have 24 and 10 nonassigned whatever that means.... Just wondering where I will fall in the scope of survey taken...

Oh well I got the email too,,,, at least I started Emsense and that has a lot of paying surveys. If I am deactivated I will miss Stanford SOOOOO muchOh I hope that doesn't happen.

My first one ever is listed as Dec. 2007. I seldom, if ever, take the lottery ones so that's probably why my carryover is so much less than yours for the period of a year. If the carry over is only from 01/2010, as twynk says, then you did a butt load last year!!

oh Im not good LOL I just have no life and spend a major part of my day everyday online. So I am around when they pop up probably more than you all who work or have kids (I do neither).

The email that everyone got is worded a bit different than normal...but they do a clearing house of sorts about once maybe twice a year. This is how they clean up not only nonactive accounts but also accounts that are being used and maybe even abused. I would not be to worried about this. I get the email ( similar to this) almost every year also. You have to see it from their end. Many folks sign up and even place commitments to do surveys and never follow thru. If this is a pattern in some accounts or an account is flagged as being abused in some way ...then ..it needs to be looked at. I have been with Stanford for about 5 years and have never had my account stopped. BTW... the credits that are accumulated in an account are only for students

This is how they clean up not only nonactive accounts but also accounts that are being used and maybe even abused. I would not be to worried about this. I get the email ( similar to this) almost every year also. You have to see it from their end. Many folks sign up and even place commitments to do surveys and never follow thru. If this is a pattern in some accounts or an account is flagged as being abused in some way ...then ..it needs to be looked at. I have been with Stanford for about 5 years and have never had my account stopped. BTW... the credits that are accumulated in an account are only for students

I hope your right about that. I do their surveys and follow through every one....and if I have questions I always email them. Love thier surveys and hope that they keep us all. I agree cleaning up non-active accounts. Lets hope us all who do their surveys legitamately stay in.

really I have been with them a bit longer than I have been with SD !! Even if I were to get a closed account notice I would never take it personally.

yea I would understand but they are one of the main ones ya know. I earn alot from them so yea it would suck. Guess we will all see next week.

:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

I hope they don't boot me, but I kind of expect they will. Twice in the last year, I signed up for and completed surveys, but never got credited for completing them even though I completed them both right away. I never got paid for either one, despite my emails and it went into my account as my not showing up and doing the two surveys I had signed up for. :mad:

I have ~50 even though I've been with them for years since I ignore anything that doesn't guarantee pay :)

92 (89 credited 3 not)

well my account is disabled so I guess it is the end of the road for me. It was good while it lasted!!

Welcome to the GSB Behavioral Lab


System Message: Your account has been disabled. :weeping:

I can appreciate why they did this and not bitter in the least. It was a pleasure being part of this panel, giving thoughtful data to the surveys and making a lot of Amazon $$$.

You will be missed :hug:

System Message: Your account has been disabled.

Oh well. It was good while it lasted. :(

Mine was disabled as well

I'm disabled also, oh well

Mine was also disabled.

Mine is disabled too.

still in here :)

disabled:(

I rarely participate in their studies and my account has been disabled. Oh well! It's not like they paid very well anyway

still in.

well now Im afraid to sign up for multiple studies :/

I have also been disabled. I hope they still pay us for the last survey we completed. :(

Christmas Gifts
Abstract lottery plus $5 amazon for follow-up study

So far, still in. Was able to log in just now.

MIne was disabled too. I'm so disappointed. I really enjoyed the surveys and the GCs came in so handy. I bought all my Christmas gifts this year with Amazon GCs I won there.

I understand their reasoning, but I'm still sad about it.

System Message: Your account has been disabled.

I hope they still throw me in the reward drawings for those surveys that I have already completed recently.

As well as the last two paying studies I did that I haven't been paid for.

I really enjoyed the studies, too bad they had to do this. Stanford is probably going to lose a lot of supporters from this, unfortunately. I loved the fact that I was able to help out with their research, its the only thing I could contribute. Now since that is gone, they're just another college in my eyes that I have absolutely nothing to do with.

Honestly, instead of disabling it outright, they should make it so you can see the studies that you have done, but not be able to sign up for anything additional.

I can still log in. Whew.........:faint:

Fingers crossed.

Your account has been disabled.

Darn ! Disappointed (I've won some nice lotteries) but I can understand their reasoning.

My account was disabled as well. In hindsight, I wonder if the best strategy would have to only complete paid surveys and not do lottery ones? Did people who only completed paid surveys have their accounts disabled as well?

canned also, no worries, on to the next SD I guess! BTW, rarely ever did lotteries ones, only pd ones

yeah, I hardly ever did lotteries and I was disabled too

I don't think that I did more than maybe 2-3 lottery studies in the almost 3 years I've been with them, and they were in the very beginning before I figured out that sometimes that restricted you from doing some of the paid ones. Maybe thats why I haven't gotten canned yet.

Still in :woot: I ONLY complete guaranteed pay surveys.

still in so far......

I'm out as well, but they didn't have that many studies anyway for me so I'm okay with the decision. on to the next school. :3

I wonder if they'll finally accept new people since they are disabling some other members accounts. I still haven't heard from them after trying to apply 3 times since Nov when they opened up registration again.

disabled oh well good while it lasted

I got Disabled too!

Got disabled too :( I hardly ever did the lottery one.

I haven't done a lottery survey in years and I was disabled...

Still in!

I am thinking us who have been there for a while (like me since March 2009) are the ones disabled. I don't think it has anything to do with amount of studies done....it seems to be how long you were a member.

My account has been disabled too!
I have done two $5 studies recently that I have not been paid for yet.
Wonder what will happen now??? :confused:

I've belonged with them for years and I used to do quite a few of their surveys back when they almost always offered compensation. However, eventually the surveys became mostly to be entered into drawings so I mostly stopped doing them, although I've done a few paying ones fairly recently. I did get the original email about disabling accounts but so far mine isn't one of them.

I've been with them since December of 2007, and I've not had my account disabled. ( as yet, that is ). I can still log in. I tried twice today, once earlier and again just now, and can still log in fine and have surveys listed, etc.

well maybe its cause your a guy lol. Glad you are still able to login for now :) maybe that means you will win some drawings since you are one of the few on SD left there.

I don't do the drawing studies. That may be why I'm still able to log in.

could be. I did basically all that I could LOL paid and drawing ones. Although the paid ones have really slacked off the past year, so I am not overly sad. I do Mturk things for Amazon and the surveys there range from 1.00-7.00 with video on demand hits going for 3-5 bucks. So last year I made 322.00 with Mturk compared to the maybe 150 I got through GSB (and I have only ever won ONE drawing). Guess to Mturk and other sites I will go from now on.

I just received a study invite announcement so I might still be good....

Me too. There were 5 studies listed but all were for lottery "chances" so I just passed as usual and deleted it.

I might have to look back into mturk then!
Seems like before most surveys/things were sign up for refferal websites, or complete tasks for very low pay

its all on trial and error, weeding out spam or those that are not going to pay. I typically do the "videos on demand" thing where you look up movies on VOD (like Time Warner VOD)...it asks simple questions like is this movie offered and if so....whats the rating, minutes long, rental window etc. Those range from 3-5 dollars, and often they have those hits specific to areas such as mine which is Cincinnati, OH. They offer general hits for those that are 1.00. Takes me like 3 minutes to gather all info

As far as the actual surveys, you just got to look @ the hit and see if it looks real. Like they will say take this survey in another tab/window...when you get to the end you will be given a completion code...then you enter that code into the Mturk window. And submit.

I generally search for things 1.00 and up....and make at least 20 bucks a month. So yea give it a go, its really worth it. Like I said, I made over 300 last year so its possible. You just have to trial and error till you figure out which are real and not real (you will eventually be able to tell before you accept the hit). Hope that helps you.

Since you're logging in to mTurk via your Amazon.com account, when you click on the links to complete "hits" or surveys, could clicking on a fake or unscrupulous link, compromise your credit card and other Amazon.com info?

I doubt it could, but if you are worried there is a firefox addon like called Mturk options or something and it lets you see the rating of each HIT and the person who posted it. At first I was worried someone would scam my Amazon account but then I figured it was all run through Amazon.com itself so that is unlikely. That is also why I try to stick with surveys and Movie Enquirer Hits. Also the money goes to your Amazon Payments account then from there you transfer it to an Amazon GC or your bank account, so its not like it directly gets to your Amazon information.

Has everyone received the $5 payment for the Christmas Gifts study? Sadly, I just found out today my account was also disabled, but it sounds promising that we will still receive payment. I just haven't seen mine yet.

Not yet - you had to have done the follow-up survey (one question) to be entitled to the incentive.

I took the original survey on 12/26 and follow-up on 1/6.

I got my payment on Tuesday

still active

but sean was deactivated and still won in the lottery soi I dont think they'll stiff the ones that were deactivated

I am deactivated and I still received $5 payment for the follow-up gift survey on Tuesday.

I haven't gotten payment yet, and was deactivated.

Whoever posted about mturk, I took a bunch of surveys within the past week, so we'll see how it works out :) a lot of really interesting ones

cool! I hope you find it to be enjoyable like I have. Don't get discouraged if some are rejected, it happens. My dashboard is like this:
Submitted 880 —
... Approved 858 97.6%
... Rejected 21 2.4%
... Pending 1

so getting some rejected is okay. Hope you do well on it and make a lot of amazon dough.

Wow, I am disabled on Stanford? What did I do? I haven't even done a survey with them in a few months!

Wow, I am disabled on Stanford? What did I do? I haven't even done a survey with them in a few months!
they deleted a lot of us because they wanted "fresh eyes" for their studies and we have done too many or been a member for too long I guess....sucks for us!!

Wow, yeah that does suck. Pretty sure it must be being a member for too long instead of how many you have taken as hubby was deactivated and he's been a member for about the same time frame but has taken only 2 or 3 surveys total in like 2+ years. Should I expect the other college panels to dump me soon as I joined them all in the same timeframe, or is Stanford GSB the only one that dumps panelists regularly?

Just wondering if anyone who signed up to be a member has gotten an email yet? I told my cousin to sign up over a month ago and he still hasn't heard anything back.

anyone still waiting on gifts payment?

anyone still waiting on gifts payment?

Yup me, I emailed dude and he said he would check into it. Saying since it was only last week there might be some lag. But knowing some got paid I don't really know. :(

I've tried to sign up 3 times since they supposedly started accepting new members in Nov and haven't heard a thing. Got a weird reply when I e-mailed them to ask about it too. If this person was telling the truth then they must be getting really picky because nobody that's answered when I've asked the same question previously in this thread has heard back from them either.

Hello *******,

If you qualify to take our studies, you should receive your log-in information within a week.

Best,
Stanford GSB Behavioral Lab

emailed them to ask why disabled waiting on answer.

emailed them to ask why disabled waiting on answer.
Not sure why you need to ask them. They sent everyone an e-mail saying why.

This email is to let you know that we will be tightening the
requirements for our participants to remain active
participants in our pool. We are tightening the requirements
because we want to be sure that the results we get in our
studies are robust and generalizable to an average
population of people. The problem is that participants that
have taken very many of these studies become so familiar
with these kinds of studies over time that they often
unintentionally answer differently than they otherwise would
if they had never taken a study. This can throw off our
results, even invalidate them, causing us to have to rethink
and rerun the study in a new way. And it doesn't help you to
legitimately contribute to science. This is bad for us, and
bad for you.

Therefore, we will be deactivating participants that have
taken an excessive number of studies, to be determined. This
will take effect within the next week.

Exactly.

Not sure why you need to ask them. They sent everyone an e-mail saying why.
didn't get that that is why.

didn't get that that is why.

Same here. I received NO email so they did NOT email everyone.
