Explain the variation of electropositivity across a period and down the group

Variation of electronegativity across a period 

it decreases due to increase in effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons

Variation of electropositivity down the group

Electropositivity increases down the group due to increase the screening effect that outweighs increase in nuclear charge.
