At that time some from the forum had participated. There was haggling over the money. At first it was too little what was offered, then the reward was increased and there were enough participants here. Wasn't Begbie one of the participants who took part in this study in Cologne?

It's awesome that you remember that. I had almost forgotten about it myself...

Btw the positive drug test was not an exclusion criterion, contrary to what was initially propagated. I was still able to take part xD

Why should that be an exclusion criterion? Can a person who took drugs a few days ago falsify the result, or are they afraid that some people will become paranoid while on drugs and possibly have a panic attack? ;D

I seriously wonder about that.

The students were of the opinion that the drug consumption influenced the measured values in such a way that they were unusable.
They then consulted their professor, who apparently assessed it differently.
But they had to take what they could get. It wasn't as if the participants were running them ragged lol

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, understandable. I don't think they know which clientele is best suited to it. Just stand in front of the job center or in the Spielos, there will probably be some who would be willing to participate.

They are somehow wrong here in the forum. For many, it's just too far away and it's not worth getting only €30 for it. Many users here also work, so I don't think they take place on Saturday or Sunday.

I don't think it was that easy for them to recruit suitable people.
Standing right in front of the arcade and chatting people up, they could have caught a fist in the face pretty quickly.
Moreover, Gambling addiction is not something you can just peddle. It's a sensitive subject. For most people.
And yes, this is really only interesting for people who live in the area.
Or if you feel like doing science a service *g*

Actually, the incentive (bonus) is high when you consider what people have already done for a bratwurst.

If you knew how many people do surveys for a few cents... or some Bachelor/Master surveys to get a chance to win a 10-25€ Amazon voucher.

I guarantee you that if it remained anonymous and the remuneration was made more attractive, they would have no problem finding people to do it. The problem is rather that they have a very limited budget (thanks to TV-L) and of course try to get as many data sets as possible. If they have €5,000, then it's already a lot.

3 days of 150 minutes each (without return journey) are 7.5 hours, as previously calculated. Certainly not bad for a daily wage of 140€, but due to the fact that you have to show up there on 3 different days, it is simply too little. In addition, most people simply don't have time during the week and, knowing some students, it won't happen on Saturday/Sunday.

It still makes a lot more sense than sitting here at GJ 24/7 and asking for an Interwetten code every hour

It was anonymous if I remember correctly.

I think they do that on the side, so a one-liner like that is written quickly

I wouldn't have a problem if I got such an offer in a game. But everyone reacts differently, maybe most people wouldn't respond or even insult the recruiters. I can only explain the low demand because the pay is too low, you have to go there several times and it's location-bound.
