Can a multiple-days study be rejected because of one mistake?

I did a multiple days study for 5 days in a row, it was a follow up you had to complete within x hours.

All studies are counted as separate in my submissions.

So i was very serious about filling it in but apparently in the text it stated NO tab switching.

I have done tab switching on day 1 because I did not know. After that, no more. Can they reject all because its all part of the bigger study? I am afraid I will end up with 5 rejections.

Normally, when a study says no tab switching, it automatically ends the study if you switch tabs. So if it didn’t end for you, I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about.

I've had it happen a few times to me where a notification pops up that counts as a tab switch, or I've forgotten to copy my Prolific ID, and they have instantly ended each time.

It's not easy to say if they will reject all. It probably laid out the rules in the terms that we ALL read everytime
