The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.
In other words, when dealing with positive feelings after an initial interaction, the implications of how that initial interaction unfolded align with the axioms of uncertainty reduction theory. For example, Verbal communication: There is a positive relationship between the amount of verbal communication and the predicted outcome value.
[22] [3] Negative valence reduces the intimacy or immediacy strength within a relationship.

Two positive links and one negative like the example above creates imbalance or cognitive dissonance. Multiplying the signs shows that the person will perceive imbalance (a negative multiplicative product) in this relationship, and will be motivated to correct the imbalance somehow. The Person can either:
Example of positive reinforcing loop shown in the illustration: The amount of the Bank Balance will affect the amount of the Earned Interest, as represented by the top blue arrow, pointing from 'Bank Balance to Earned Interest. Since an increase in Bank balance results in an increase in Earned Interest, this link is positive, which is denoted ...
