Peer Review:Expectancy violations theory:

(1) Structure:

The article has a very comprehensive structure including: introduction, key words, assumptions, applications, critiques, and relevant theories. The article also has images elucidating the proxemics and some other examples. The proxemic image is not so well suggesting the "distance" from the inner to the outer. Maybe it will look better to change to another image.

(2) Organization

The article has each section transited fluently. Theoretical sections have very clear organizations and good references. The application part is little bit verbose, especially the "Interpersonal Communication" section. The "Friendship" part has the same reference with the "The media figure" part, and two sections are telling similar things.

(3) Evidence

The article uses 75 references, and they all are reliable sources including books and journals. Some recent researches are also added in the article.

(4) Content

The content is quite logic and well-organized. It will be even better by adding more examples.

Under the heading Expectancy, the 3rd paragraph: "Communicator characteristics lead to distinctions between males and females in assessing the extent to which their nonverbal expressions of power and dominance effect immediacy behaviors.[16] Immediacy cues such as conversational distance, lean, body orientation, gaze, and touch may differ between the genders as they create psychological closeness or distance between the interactants." I think it is little bit confusing using as an example here. It explained the communicator characteristics though, maybe change to a more detailed example which could exemplify all three characteristics. Also, two examples of behavior expectations and cultural expectations didn't illustrate key words in the former part, so it is a little bit confusing for readers to understand.

Under the heading Communicator reward valence: I think the example needs further explanation corporation with key words. How's the reward valence changed in the reaction the talking person received?

Under the heading needs for personal space: I think it will be better to provide examples to illustrate what is territoriality and the differences among primary territories, secondary territories, and public territories.

About the Proxemics: The article already mentions that the proxemics will not always work in different cultures, and I think it might be necessary to add that the proxemics offered by Hall is based on the study of North Americans.

With the influence of the pandemic, it is necessary to study how teachers and students perceive behaviors in an online learning environment as dunexpected and whether develop positive or negative assessment. It will contribute to the future study and guide instructors, students, and program developers to enhance their work.

Besides, the "Business" section has fewer researches, so it is suggested to explore relevant recent researches. Mobile games and advertisement insertation is popular. How users perceive advertisement inside games and what forms might effect may be interesting to study.

Peer Review: Social Penetration theory:

(1)Structure The structure of this article provides detailed knowledge covering big sections "assumptions," "self-disclosure," "rewards and costs assessment," and "applications." I would like to recommend to add another big section "critiques" explaining the limitation of this theory such as a relative narrow scope of the SPT. The article has one legible image of an onion exemplifying the SPT. It can be added more pictures illustrating the examples and theoretical frameworks.

(2) Organization The organization of this article needs to be further improved. The big section "Self-Disclosure" includes lots of small sections such as "onion metaphor," "Sexual communication anxiety among couples," "Stranger-on-the-train phenomenon," and "stages" which I think shouldn't be placed there. Self-disclosure is the core of the SPT, so it's understandable to list many small sections within this big section. But, these small sections focus on different areas such as "stages" is about the process while "sexual communication anxiety among couples" is studying a focused area. Therefore, it is suggested that: "Stages" as a strategy of the social penetration process should be listed as an another new big section and be detailed explained with more examples. "Sexual communication anxiety among couples" should be moved to the application section. "Onion metaphor" is a good instance so I think it will be better to put it in the beginning part. "Stranger-on-the-train" could be moved to the critique part or the end of the "Self-Disclosure" section.

(3) Evidence This article uses 42 sources, thus more references need to be added. The citation form is also problematic. The big section "Rewards and costs assessment" doesn't have any references and citations. For the beginning part, "Assumption" part, "Self Disclosure" introduction part, I think the citations didn't strictly follow the rule. They might need to be fixed.

(4) Content Many areas need to further fixed and some key concepts need to be covered. "Transgression" this key word is not mentioned in the article, which should be one possible direction of depenetration. The section "Rewards and Costs assessment" only explains some core ideas of the social exchange theory, while it forgets to connect how the SET is related and contributive to the SPT. In the application section, it is obvious that "organization communication" and "Media-mediated Communication" are less addressed, since this theory mainly focuses on interpersonal communication. So maybe "media-mediated communication" and "computer-mediated communication" can combine together to form a "media" section.

Suggested References: Since nowadays many communication happen in the virtual space and it is not the same as face-to-face communication, the social penetration process is influenced and shaped by the media change. Though the article referred lots of sources about CMC, researches regarding to social media is relatively less than other big parts. Also, celebrities are utilizing their social media as a method of forming a interpersonal relation with their fans, while the small section "Celebrity's self-disclosure on social media" is relatively less studied. So I think it is worthwhile to contribute one source about this topic.
