The money is always good, mostly because its easy and free. And most college kids are gonna be there anyway, so why not.
But almost all of these things are operated out of such locations, so they aren't going to travel far if they don't have to and technically a campus isn't Leftist only so they can pretend its diverse.
The only alternatives you ever see are phone surveys and online polls, both of which have such a self selection bias of who the fuck would answer this that they are useless for anything other than social engineering headlines.
I recall one college Psych study where they paid me something like 15 or 25 bucks to get drunk.
God damn man, that's an absurd level of payment for one of these. We were taught to give like 5$ back in the day.
It was a couple of hours of time commitment back in the aughts where you did a before & after timed computer test under the influence.
I remember getting tipsy on the standardized clinical alcohol. Then flirting with the graduate level test administer girl. After the experiment was over, she kept getting me to do the breathlyzer over & over again waiting for me to sober up so she could yeet me.
I suppose for a multi hour inclusion that makes more sense, that's also a study that isn't going to get huge sample sizes so their budget for paying can dole out more.
And your attitude into it is another reason why these things are so weak. Very few people are taking them serious, and often in it for the hot Psych undergrads running it, so their answers are usually pretty underthought or unrevealing.
