I’m excited to see more research like this produced, on this and other topics – are you able (both in terms of permission and in terms of capability) to tell us how much this study cost, both in terms of money and time?
Just checked our MTurk account. Pilot cost $1,189. Main study cost $6,075. Total cost $7,264.
Total time: it took about 11 months from very first conversations to completing the final paper. About 3 months of that was data collection for the pilot and main study. The remaining time was planning, survey development, analyzing data, writing, etc. And several chunks of time were stagnant due to lack of time on our part. Total time certainly could have been cut in half if we had the time to work on it 40 (or even 20) hrs per week.
If I recall correctly, we spent ~$12K on MTurk fees to pay participants. All the labor in developing the study was given voluntarily without pay. I don’t know how many total person hours it took to create, implement, and analyze. The start-to-finish wall time was ~8 months, but much of that time was spent waiting.
