I forgot to share the #mTurk data quality result that got scooped:

“In late 2020…. Participants from the United States were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, - #CloudResearch, #Prolific, and a #university. One participant source yielded up to 18 times as many low-quality respondents as the other three.”

We've found recruiting people for online #research via #onlineAdvertising yielded good results on overt and covert #dataQuality measures (perhaps because participation incentives aren't financial):

Attention checks passed ≅ 2.6 out of 3

ReCAPTCHA (v3) ≅ 0.94 out of 1.0

Sample size > 5000 (from six continents)

@ByrdNick interesting. I love the idea of giving participant non-financial incentives in return for their participation/data. Much more of a partnership model. Harder to do, required more thought, but great to see if yields data quality (which is sure to drop only further https://tomstafford.substack.com/p/faking-survey-responses-with-llms )

Faking survey responses with LLMs

Survey research is a key mechanism by which society knows itself, we should all be worried if can't be trusted.
