Positive Stability in Fly by Wire Aircraft

Was wondering if anyone knew of the how positive stability characteristics of a fly by wire aircraft such as the Airbus' works compared to an aircraft with conventional flight controls.

Namely after an initial upset to the aircraft do the flight control systems leave the aircraft to correct using it's natural positive stability or does it induce flight control movements in order to return it to it's previous state?
