Screening AMT participants from previous studies

Sometimes, you want to make sure some AMT workers, who took one of your previous studies, cannot take your current study. We found a way to do that using a simple script on AMT and a pre-screening survey on Qualtrics. More details in this post on the Experimental Turk blog. 

Update: You can also use Qualifications on AMT as detailed here - https://experimentalturk.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/excluding-mturk-workers-who-participated-in-your-previous-studies-an-excel-solution/

  2. This is a clever approach to survey assignment randomization! Your method of directing participants to different surveys based on criteria is efficient and ensures balanced data collection. For researchers working with online data collection, understanding how to implement fair assignment mechanisms is crucial. Your practical solution demonstrates how careful design improves research quality. For those interested in broader research applications, I've been looking into Gen AI and Agentic AI online training in Electronic City to understand how AI tools are transforming data collection and analysis in research contexts. Your post is a great example of how practical research skills evolve with technology. Thanks for sharing these valuable research techniques with the community!
