Are the following scenarios a positive or negative correlation?

1. A researcher reports that the farther college students are from their parents, the more often they communicate with their parents (either by phone or by e-mail). Is this an example of a positive or a negative correlation?

2. An instructor reports that as the number of student interruptions during class decreases, student scores on in-class quizzes increase. Is this an example of a positive or a negative correlation?
