Understanding TapResearch's Disqualification Removal Policy
When participating in a TapResearch study, it is common for participants to become ineligible for survey completion. This can be for a range of reasons, such as going outside the scope of the study guidelines.
When a participant is disqualified, they typically receive 1 cent for their participation. As a form of compensation, this helps participants feel valued for their time.
However, if a study has many disqualifications and few full completions, TapResearch has a policy in place where they are able to remove the 1 cent disqualification.
This may occur if an inappropriately high number of participants are disqualified due to unclear instructions or issues outside of the participant's control.
In these cases, TapResearch may review the 1 cent disqualification and remove it for those who shouldn't have been disqualified based on the guidelines of the study.
To be clear, this does not guarantee TapResearch will remove the 1 cent disqualification from all cases.
TapResearch will remove the 1 cent disqualification after a while if there are too many disqualifications and not many full completions.
Conclusion
TapResearch wants to ensure fair participation and compensation for surveys. While the 1 cent disqualification is standard procedure, TapResearch may review disqualification cases and remove 1 cent disqualification if the circumstances are appropriate.
