Support for Administrative Burden in Welfare Programs | We will launch a project on Prolific and MTurk to recruit respondents. Respondents’ participation is completely voluntary and all individuals should be living in the United States who are 18 years of age or older.
Prolific is an online surveys site that primarily works with researchers looking to conduct academic surveys. The surveys posted to the site are unique in nature and pay generously compared to similar survey websites. People from over 30 countries are invited to join the website to take surveys offered by academics, startups, charities and businesses.
The MTurk Human Intelligent Task (HIT) description is effectively the recruitment plan for the study. The HIT description must include clear and accurate information about participation, such as compensation, duration, and the types of tasks Workers will be asked to do. In our study, participants must be adults located in the United States to be included in the study. We will also screen for past MTurk approval rate, starting with a minimum approval rate of 99% and reducing the minimum as necessary to recruit sufficient numbers of respondents. |
