Best reviewer awards could be helpful in stimulating higher quality reviews. What's often missing is information on what made the reviews of these people so good. This insight could be beneficial for improving review quality by others. Let's share best practices!

💡What would be your reviewing tip?

I think this is a first for me: One of our studies is covered in Japanese media: www.itmedia.co.jp/news/spv/241...

It's about our large scale survey in the US, the Netherlands, and Poland about conversation-related advertising experiences. Link to research: doi.org/10.1177/2056...

Is there any evidence beyond people's experiences about phones listening for ad targeting? Different explanations are offered in our study including the wealth of digital traces people leave behind + psychological mechanisms such as priming and confirmation bias. Article: doi.org/10.1177/2056...

Seeing people unquestioningly repeating this and it's not true. There has never been a single bit of non-circumstantial evidence of Apple using Siri conversations for ad targeting, and the settlement is for Apple sharing recordings of accidental Siri activations with their QA subcontractors.
"The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden"
Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M

This 👇 The crazy amount of info we give companies is enough for ad targeting. Also, issues like device battery drainage, low sound quality, data processing costs, legal & financial liability, etc.
