To understand what a person’s “utility function” for votes
is, we conducted an Amazon Mechanical Turk experiment
that asked users how they would perceive receiving a given
number of up- and down-votes.
I don’t even… Amazon Turk? What are the odds of an experiment like that among one self-selected group to yield any insight on a completely different self-selected group?
Many questions they asked are pretty interesting, though. Not sure how much one can trust their answers.
