Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavior of leaving no tip despite good service from the coat room attendant contradicts the positivity spiral, which involves positive behaviors reinforcing each other. In this case, the good service from the coat room attendant could have potentially led to a positive behavior in leaving a tip, but that did not happen.
