The LucidRecruiter base class

normalize_entry_information(entry_information)

Accepts data from the recruited user and returns data needed to validate, create or load a Dallinger Participant.

See create_participant() for details.

The default implementation extracts hit_id, assignment_id, and worker_id values directly from entry_information.

This implementation extracts the RID from entry_information and assigns the value to hit_id, assignment_id, and worker_id.

The participant has been working longer than the time defined in the “duration” config value.

open_recruitment(n=1)

Open a connection to Lucid and create a survey.

recruit(n=1)

Incremental recruitment isn’t implemented for now, so we return an empty list.

required_consent_page

reward_bonus(participant, amount, reason)

psynet.recruiters.get_lucid_settings(lucid_recruitment_config_path, termination_time_in_s, bid_incidence=66, collects_pii=False, inactivity_timeout_in_s=120, no_focus_timeout_in_s=60, aggressive_no_focus_timeout_in_s=3, initial_response_within_s=180, debug_recruiter=False)

Parameters:

• lucid_recruitment_config_path (str, path to the Lucid recruitment config.)

• termination_time_in_s (int, maximal time a participant can spend on the experiment. If this time is exceeded,) – the participant is terminated via the front-end.

• bid_incidence (int, default 66, the bid incidence. Bid incidence is the number of completes/(number of completes +) – participants who did not pass the qualifications). It is a percentage, so if you expect 66% of the participants to pass the qualifications, set it to 66. Set it to a realistic value, but as high as possible.

• collects_pii (bool, default False, whether the survey collects personally identifiable information.)

• inactivity_timeout_in_s (int, default 120, the inactivity timeout in seconds. If the participant is inactive for) – this amount of time, the participant is terminated via the front-end. Inactive means that the participant does not interact with the page (i.e., no [“click”, “keypress”, “load”, “mousedown”, “mousemove”, “touchstart”]).

• no_focus_timeout_in_s (int, default 60, the no focus timeout in seconds. If the participant moves the mouse outside) – the window or opens another tab, the participant is terminated via the front-end after this amount of time.

• aggressive_termination_on_no_focus (int, default 3, this the same setting as no_focus_timeout_in_s, but it is) – only used for aggressive in the consent page, since many participants are lost there.

• initial_response_within_s (int, default 180 seconds (3 minutes). If the participant does not proceed to the consent) – within this time, the participant is terminated via the backend-end.

• debug_recruiter (bool, default False, whether to use the development recruiter. This is useful for local testing.)
