Common use of Positive Clause in Contracts

Positive. Neg. 5 Negative by higher levels of empathy and prosocial behavior. The link between popularity and prosocial behavior seems less straightforward, as previous research shows that prosocial behavior is related to friendship quality, but not for popular adolescents (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2012). Therefore we did not have strong expectations regarding the role of empathy and prosocial behavior in the link between popularity and friendship quality. A special type of prosocial behavior is other-regarding decision-making when distributing valuable goods. Choos- ing to divide equally indicates a willingness to build relationships on fairness and within friendships, balance is an important condition of friendship positive quality and connectedness (Deutz, Lansu, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2014). We asked our participants to choose between equity or inequity in an experimental paradigm. We expected that an attitude toward fairness would be related to friendship quality. Looking at peer status, we expected there to be more fairness with higher peer status, because previous research shows associations between both preference and popularity and proso- cial behavior. Conversely, “divide and conquer” is an ancient strategy to attain power and this is not in line with a strong preference for fairness. We made a distinction between positive and negative friendship quality. The two are related yet distinct and uniquely contribute to the overall quality of a friendship. Positive friendship quality entails friendship aspects such as intimacy, closeness, and companionship. Negative quality entails conflict and imbalance (Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx, & Xxxxxx, 1994). Especially since adolescents high in peer status have the ability to exert power over the peer group (Xxxxxxxxx & Rose, 2005), it is important to address both the positive qualities of friendship and the challenging qualities of imbal- ance and conflict. Popular adolescents are known for using controlling strategies in social interactions (Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx- xxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2008), which might be reflected in their friendships. In our analyses we thus explored links with these two distinct aspects of friendship quality.
