What do they say about Mechanical Turk? Is it that it's more representative of non-American point of view?
- jfengel 4y agoIn this case they filtered for Americans. They put some effort into validating identity, and into ensuring that you are taking the survey seriously (trap questions, for example). It doesn't strike me as sufficient but it's not my field.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoI can say (but not visibly prove, unfortunately, NDAs) that large mechanical Turk surveys tend to get distinctly different results to mail and phone call surveys. Enough so that the commissioners of the study were not interested in replacing existing surveys with mechanical Turk.
