My team and I are trying to use Inquisit for a reaction-time based experiment looking at attentional bias. However, with the no download policy on Mturk and CrowdFlower, we don't know a good site to recruit and pay subjects to participate in an experiment that requires a plug-in.

What's a good way or site to solve this problem?

    $\begingroup$ Could you explain the no-download problem? Is the problem, that the data would reside on Mturk and you can't get at it? Maybe if I understood the problem, I'd have some idea. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The no-download problem is that websites such as Mturk would not allow tasks that require workers to download any sort of software or plug-in. Because Inquisit requires participants to download a plug-in, Mturk would not allow such experiment to be posted unless there are ways around it. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I see. And what region of the world should your participants come from, or what language should they speak? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ If you're in the US and pay for participation, post an ad on Craigslist.org. If you need local or other country, post in a local equivalent. Pay through PayPal (you can implement automatic payment in your site, all you need is that your participants have a PayPal account and give their email address). Your sample will not be representative. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I'm very interested in any answer to this question. Also see this discussion of running longer studies on mturk and in particular this question on where to post studies online to get participants $\endgroup$
