In this context, positive means believable and negative means
unbelievable.  Internally, the Likert 1-5 scale is converted into a
[-1,1] range.  Hence, it won't matter internally if we start playing
with the ideas mentioned on your WhatScaleToHaveUsersRateOn page.
Everything boils down to [-1,1].

Random note: I changed the robot's name to "Marvin the robot" from
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy not because I think Douglas Adams is a
great author but because Marvin was emotionally depressed and our
project is about emotions.  (HAL probably broke down more on the
cognitive side. ;-)
